Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. There is a limitation in Powerdelete. Here is a link to a new version and alternatives:

The restores could also be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven't been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts.
Many have experienced the same issue, there is a discussion here on kbin:

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.
And you really don’t want to screw around with GDPR:
Non-compliance with an order by the supervisory authority as referred to in Article 58(2) shall, in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
Now, that depends. Does the GPDR require a formal process to request to be deleted? They could claim that any activity that doesn’t come in through that formal process doesn’t count.
Sounds like all you EU Redditors that had your comments restored need to use that account deletion page.
If this checks out, they may be in disrespect of a bunch of privacy laws including GDPR.

4% feels really low, I wish the EU set it to like 25%
