How would one report this to the EU and force HN to follow the GDPR?

AFAIK Y Combinator does no business in the EU and HN is hosted in a US data center.

Under which legal theory does EU law apply here?

No business? It's purely an American company?

I could be hallucinating, but I swore job boards also had peopel hire from the EU.

Does every comment previously attached to your account have a unique username or do they still all share the same?

Sort of moot point considering the multiple HN archives that would still have the original username attached

The username is changed but the comments remain attached to a single different name.

Which is why I'd write an open letter and not do the thing. If I could nuke my account I wouldn't need to ask Dang, and I would have already done it.
