I'm not sure how that would work.

Any compliant service is likely to allow self-service (eg: a button to delete a comment; a link to list out all data; an edit function to correct wrong data).

If you're storing personal information and don't comply with the law, you risk a fine. Just as you risk a fine for mismanaging health data, or risk prosecution for storing data that is illegal, like child pornography.

You might also want to look at GDPR chapter 3, article 12, point(?) 5:

"Information provided under Articles 13 and 14 and any communication and any actions taken under Articles 15 to 22 and 34 shall be provided free of charge. Where requests from a data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, the controller may either:

charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested; or

refuse to act on the request.

The controller shall bear the burden of demonstrating the manifestly unfounded or excessive character of the request."
