Their EULA has no power where GDPR applies.
Had that discussion a couple of times over there. Someone even pulled out the extract from the ToS, which is utterly ridiculous, basically suggests anything you post there is theirs do use as they please, which goes against all the copyright and data privacy laws I know about at least in the EU. It's so silly, imagine posting your unreleased song for feedback on /r/wearethemusicmakers only for Reddit to publish it and claim the revenue.
Yeah, only problem is that you need to enforce it.
EU has been known to fine and collect on way bigger fish than Reddit. Enough users from the EU need to file failure to comply with deletion claims under the GDPR to their local enforcement agencies for it to happen.
I wish more people were aware of this, sadly most don't even have time to consider this.
