GDPR only protects personal data. If someone requests deletion, you could probably keep the comments as long as you anonymize them (which Reddit does).
Your comments, including here in HN, are probably already covered by a scheme like that where you give the site operator an unrestricted license to use them. You can remove the association to your identity via GDPR, but to take down the content itself you’d need to go through the justice system.
