I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I raised a case with the ICO in the UK, and today they got back to me asking for all my communication with Reddit. Also today - after a month of silence - Reddit also emailed me with this

If you’re in the UK and had been affected by posts being restored, I’d recommend contacting the ICO. It takes less than 5 minutes

This is nothing more than reddit pushing their luck with european data laws, and finally relenting and going "OMG if your stuff wasnt deleted it was your fault, not ours, We promise it'll totally work this time if you do it again, since we've turned off our desperation measures after being threatened by fines by the EU"
