This together can make it a little complicated for even sites that don`t ask anything personal.

woa, so that makes the definition very broad, maybe that could really complicate things, combined with

Art. 17 GDPR Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)

1. The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
    
   1. the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
      
      
   2. the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2), and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;

Processing

The term "processing" is very broad. It essentially means anything that is done to, or with, personal data (including simply collecting, storing or deleting those data). This definition is significant because it clarifies the fact that EU data protection law is likely to apply wherever an organisation does anything that involves or affects personal data.

Yep, when they make the definition of processing and personal data so broad it can almost be used to anything.

Because let's say that with the combination of 20k posts it can be possible to link some of that info to someone. Age is personal data, nationatily is personal data, even your thoughts could be said to be.

I hope judges are at least sensible in understanding that this site only require a valid e-mail, that doesn't need to reveal anything personal (but yes staff with access to it could do digging to find the person) with national and birth date being there but you can lie about it, nickname can be totally different from any nickname you use anywhere else, so any info given is by own choice and let's say once you tell everyone it isn't private anymore (but that is where the right to be forgotten enters), if someone came and said a lot of bad stuff that could jeopardize job, marriage or even staying out of jail then the law intent would be there.
