There's a bunch of problems with this and I tend to think something else happened, either an accident at Reddit, or more likely the people who "deleted their accounts" missed a step.
Well, it's no longer just hearsay. I went through a couple days ago and deleted all my posts. (I did not delete my account, though.) I checked that they were gone.
Today I checked again, and
I do go through and delete my older posts about once every six months. Ones that I had deleted previously are still gone. So it looks like they are restoring old posts from a backup before this whole thing blew up, probably to try to limit the damage from so many people mass-deleting their content.
