That’s not even close to comparable.
When you post publicly on Reddit, you give permission for anyone with access to Reddit to read your posts. That naturally includes OP.
You calling this an invasion of privacy is like calling someone who follows and listens to podcasts that you create and broadcast an invasion of your privacy. If you put stuff out to the world, you have to realise that ‘the world’ also includes your SO and other people in your life who can link it back to you. Hiding behind a username won’t change that fact.
