It's still missing modern privacy features, such as the "right to be forgotten".

If you email HN mods they are fairly reasonable is what I've heard.

The mods are awesome on here in general compared to many comparably sized communities.

Dang deserves a lot of praise. Thank you Dang.

Right to be forgotten is an old EU law, the new GDPR law is 'right to erasure'

In the event you don't feel like deleting your own comments the mods will likely help you.

A general best practice is to avoid posting personally identifiable information.

You can’t delete your comments after 2 hours.

You can have any problematic comments anonymised or removed by emailing the hn@yc address.

By default, it's an important part of HN that comments stay up, unless they will cause problems for the poster. PG explained why, many years ago:
