I supposedly deleted all my Reddit posts recently. While I don't see anything in my profile post timeline, the posts are still there, if they are accessed by other means, like context links from old inbox messages.

Not only is the post accessible, but when you go from that to the entire Reddit submission, you can clearly see that it's not deleted.

Reddit not only does not have a bona fide implementation of deletion, but has hacks in place to thwart deletions that replace text by random "lorem ipsum" before deleting. These changes affect your post timeline only, not the in-thread originals.
