FYI to you and anyone reading this. Comments are the opposite of temporary. You can never delete them or edit them after a very brief initial window. So anything you say here can and might be associated with you forever. Either directly or nebulously as indicated by this tool.

I suppose the EU would like to have a word about being forgotten?

Just because an individual has the right, doesn't mean the other entities have the means or desire.

Since HN does not ask for a name or email, it's difficult to say that one is being 'remembered' by their comments.

If your username is your full legal name and city, I would say that's your own stupid fault (and I live in a GDPR country).

Yup, thanks for the reminder! I actually knew. And I'm sure they don't serve GDPR requests. But the comments become irrelevant after 24h so it feels like they aren't really temporary. It's always about the newest articles and stuff
