Not necessarily, although Reddit can definitely choose to play it that way.
A lot of systems made in the pre-GDPR era (which is most of them) were not designed with the capability to decouple and erase content at a moment's notice.
Btw incompetence won't hold up as a valid defence for violating GDPR. At most it can give them some stalling room.
