Thats fair. Im not familiar with GDPR personally. I did see a post earlier where someone reached out about invoking it. They basically said its on you and that you ALSO have to delete your account.

Problem is, when ive wiped it, they have restored it. And if you delete the account you cut your own access. I would guess thats not compliant.

So not a lawyer, but I worked as IT/IS in a GDPR heavy industry in Spain. The way it was explained to me, is that we need to have all processes to delete everything of the user. There is no "do all this work and firgure shit out" If they make a request to be forgotten, we have 30 days to erase them from every system we have save some really specific exceptions. There is not "hoops" because GDPR is extremely "biased" towards the users (i don't mean bias in a negative way). There is no reasonable way to delete all your comments in 10 plus years of posting. So you can fill out yoru form to delete your account. Then m,ake a GDPR request. and then have some random comments saved (URLs)) so you can check 1-2 months down the line. If you see the comments then you take next steps
