Still happened, though.
That would be unprecedented in the history of social media to only allow permanent comments. Im also very skeptical comment deletion is happening at such a scale to be meaningful vs the billion new comments they get a year.
This all smacks of low quality speculation thats mostly a consequence of the current outrage cycle of the week.
Also, why do people who are defending him always refer to him being drunk? Is he granted some sort of “blame the booze” pass for those actions?
his recent behavior suggest that's a possibility
Ok, so how do I delete my HN comments?

I don't think GDPR cares about scale so much as compliance. Scale just affects the fine.

Sure, I don't disagree. As long as we agree we are both dabbling in speculation. could be an honest mistake, could be the next phase of panic from a sight that is flailing about to keep its valuation from dropping further. I won't claim any authority on the topic.
I do find it entertaining how thoroughly they are stumbling over this tho. And we still have over a week until the real action.
