What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

    Hey, thinking about this, I wonder how these rules will work for a citizen of a country enforcing GDPR, who is on vacation to a country that doesn’t enforce GDPR.

      Well, if you’re wondering of how it should be according to GDPR, you should still have the same protections - they are for citizens of EU anywhere in the world and for all people who are currently in the EU, regardless of citizenship. In practice I’d say those that take it seriously will have a cookie on you (if you’ve already visited) that flags you as being from EU. Those who try to fuck with GDPR will pretend they don’t know you’re from EU.

        Ah that makes sense. The cookie solution is a bit weak though, I think. Usually I have cookies set to clear every time I close the browser.

          Well, that’s for anonymous access, if you have an account, they should store that information there.
