Most reddit posts wouldn't be considered PII and I'm not sure the 'delete' function on a reddit post constitutes a GDPR removal request (it's not clear how this user purged their data).
The reddit FAQ around deleting your account[0] suggests that they'll just 'dissociate' your posts from your account (so the user says [deleted]) and remove your account data which should be fine for GDPR purposes.
This[1] support page says mods/admins can't recover your deleted posts for you but stops a little short of saying that it's impossible for them to do it for themselves.
So pretty scummy behaviour but I don't think anything they're doing is illegal (IANAL!).
