You can't sign away certain rights under EU law, and any terms that attempt to do that are considered void.
Do you have any reason to think that this is one of those rights? Especially given that signing over copyright absolutely is something you can agree to in a contract.
I mean you can't sign away rights to your personal data.
You're not signing away copyright when you post to Reddit, btw. It would complicate things too much. What you're doing is granting Reddit a perpetual, irrevocable license to use the copy of your post that ends up in their server.
