As another user has pointed out, it's both. The post was removed by moderators first, then the user deleted it some time after that. This information is only visible in the old design, not in the redesign.

Unfortunately if the user removed it you can't really see the order of events then. I don't believe you can now see who removed it first. I know as a mod on reddit I have deleted posts that were already removed by the user.

Yes you can, because it is impossible to remove a deleted post. Your anecdote is not true.

Also, the user posted a comment complaining about the removal.
