Funny you mention HN and Reddit as ephemeral because I always thought they were more permanent than most. While you can email the mods and ask that a particular post of yours be removed, I don’t think they will wholesale scrub your content out of the archives if you request, or help to anonymize them in any way.

I consider HN pretty much permanent and tread carefully with controversial opinions or things that might one day be considered not-PC.
