Given the users own the content, it'd presumably be up to them whether it can be rehosted or not. Reddit gets a license to display the content, but they don't really have any control over what third parties can do with it. Personally I don't care if anyone reuses stuff I've posted on Reddit or other forms of social media (forums like Hacker News included), but there's always the possibility that someone might. And if you remove their posts when asked, I doubt most of them will take it any further than that.
