I don’t think questions and answers that were willingly published count as GDPR data. SO probably retains rights to them.

And not even just SO. They were licensed to you, me and everyone else under Creative Commons, the OP can't just revoke the license.

User content is explicitly licensed under CC-BY-SA. Claiming GDPR on it is just as silly as claiming GDPR because someone forked your GPL project in a way you didn't like.
