HN has moderation, won't track you without telling you, and will delete your content if you ask. That's literally all it takes, it's really not that Orwellian

Will HN really delete all your content if you ask?
Like, all your posts just disappear?
No they will not. You can change your username at the most.
What if you are European? How is this not a violation
HN will restrict how fast you can comment without telling you (unless you figure it out and ask). There's no indicator that your account has this restriction besides being prevented from commenting, there's no indicator what the limit is, and the appeals process involves a subjective judgement by HN leadership
There is no law against shadowbanning users
