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.
That is exactly why you should always edit your stuff before deleting it. Very few companies ever save more than the last version of your stuff, due to space and performance considerations. That way they can restore whatever they want, it’ll simply come out as “x” or whatever you put in there.

Except they’re also apparently restoring even edited posts and comments.
