Wait, what? You can go back and see all their comments and submissions. That will quite possibly have a lot of PII, but cannot normally be deleted.

FWIW, this is something HN has to fix, if you ask me.




If you send a request to the moderators and cite the GDPR I would expect them to delete it. The GDPR doesn't require the deletion process to be automated.


So I guess the Just Delete Me link should be mailto:hn@ycombinator.com?subject=Please%20GDPR%20my%20account


That sounds more accurate than "impossible" does to me
