Also not a lawyer but I've done a lot of GDPR training since it was introduced and I believe you're incorrect—the data subject posting it publicly or not doesn't factor into the validity of a deletion request under the GDPR. There are a limited set of specific reasons a service owner can refuse a deletion request and they're pretty much down to preventing abuse and facilitating compliance with other laws.
