Under the GDPR a subject is allowed full erasure rights. If I say I want you to delete my content from x date to y date, or a particular post, or everything entirely then that shouldn't be an issue. A request may be bothersome, but that's what happens when you don't offer that functionality natively.
I noticed a few days back you didn't like it when a user made a new account, except with the internet these days and how everything is archived for all time, throwaway's are the only option. Building a comment history is extremely dangerous, especially when you might forget what details you may have posted or how meta-data can leak through (such as what subs you post in, any details you posted that could identify you etc).
You can't have it both ways: no to multiple accounts and also no to control over your data. I might have 50 accounts, dislike it? Give me proper control over my comments. (to be honest, it may just be worth making a new account for every comment for maximum privacy, it's extreme, but it's a viable option).
If I want to delete them, that's my choice to freely make. Your thoughts or concerns are not relevant to me, thankfully, the GDPR agrees.

I think you must have misunderstood whatever the moderation comment was, there's no prohibition on throwaway or multiple accounts. Just against using them to violate the site guidelines which is a different thing.
