A good moment to mention again that you cannot actually delete your Hacker News account.

Hacker New is certainly not GDPR compliant.

I've been asking admins to delete an old account that has identifiable information (which I posted while I was a minor) and which is embarrassing.

They did not care and the info is still public.

Were you not able to request to delete individual comments?

Thanks for pointing this out - never realized before.

So much for the right to be forgotten...
