TL;DR: I got a response from Reddit that basically says they’re not violating anything.
There was a post here 3 weeks ago that talked about the GDPR violations Reddit is committing.
reddit is telling it's future investors with recent news and more info on their IPO, that they're currently selling and looking to sell their user's data to companies wanting to train their LLMs, including Google.
I’m not sure of anyone else has gotten a response from them yet so I thought I’d share the email.
The Email:

Ah Gotcha, but I don't think you're right.
Right to be forgotten: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/
This talks explicitly about personal data in all contexts.
The definition of personal data is anything that can be used to identify someone: https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/
This isn't all user data, just stuff that makes a user identifiable.
