I don't recall seeing anything about "implementing GDPR." I'm baffled at your comment about a portal to see your data, because you could just hit the API and see all your data... hell, that's what I used it most for, searching my own stuff to get info or things I had already found before.
This is all a tangent to the false claim you constantly keep repeating: You said their *policy* was not to delete PII. That is a false statement. But you take the other part about only hiding non-PII as gospel, when both statements of policy are literally in the same sentence - you treat the one half you don't like as 100% truth, and you pretend the other half that says they will remove PII doesn't exist.
"So yes, my experience is that they don't delete PII and don't even respond to requests. Do you have a different experience? Or are you just repeating those announcements that never transpired?"
You didn't actually answer the question:
I have no idea what you asked to delete - was it actually PII, or random Reddit comments which aren't PII? You very often conflate the two.
I do agree his communication level has always been quite poor. I've made many remarks on it myself in the past.

This is the relevant post.[1] This is pretty clear in my view. I have never seen a follow-up (but maybe I missed it). Note how that post mentions full data deletion.

So when was PII ever deleted? Did this also include a deletion in the data dumps? It is rich that you say I am making a false statement when you only rely on their communication.
The online form didn't make it clear that the data was not deleted and you had to go through some comment to find out what they really do. And if you found that and subsequently went to contact them, they don't even reply with a "No".

Age, location, place of living, place of work, profession, policital affiliation. Not all in one place, but connected (and retrievable) by my user handle which itself is PII according to GDPR.

It's not just communication, it's many announcements and broken promises. Seriously, would you like those guys to manage sensitive data about you?
