I suppose this is a serious question - does this mean that in theory HN should ban UK users? Or is HN likely compliant with this law? It is hard to pierce through the Orwellian language in the article (does "safeguarding children’s personal information" mean retaining or deleting the data?).

HN is already non-compliant with several data privacy laws

Are public comments in a public forum classed as private data under GDPR?

for example the only thing that can really be classed as PII is my username. does it count as reasonable to request it be deleted?

Yes and yes. Google “right to be forgotten”

The right to be forgotten is not an absolute right.
