TOS dictates that Reddit owns all content on their platform, you’d have no case
However It gets interesting because under EU law TOS that violate GDPR are not enforceable. So at least EU citizens could probably have some recourse.
There’s a lot of “at least EU citizens” going around lol
California has something similar too (CCPA), as do a few other non-EU countries and US states.
Americans find it odd that other people have legal protections.
Reddit doesn’t “own” the content, TOS only have users agree to give Reddit a license to do as it pleases.

Read the TOS, they don’t have “exclusive” rights.
