Ask HN: Any way to deactivate your Hacker News account?

That's why he said he will delete if you request, GDPR or not. They've helped me delete a previous account, change usernames, and delete comments- they are nice people and aren't trying to make anything difficult. They just don't want deleting to be as instant as reddit with a delete button which can easily disrupt archives- such as when you go into old threads on reddit on google, you see like half the comments deleted and that makes for a poor reader experience.

This makes me wonder, does archive.org comply with GDPR?

Is that something people should or shouldn't be Bing-ing?
