Doesn't that just mean the data would have to be anonymized ?

I am not a expert or a lawyer, but I believe user actually hold the right to completely erase personal data:

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

Note the word "erasure" as opposed to "anonymize"

I don't think that addresses my point. Is my opinion on the new Star Wars movies that I post online or some lines of code I suggest "personal data"? I thought personal data had a specific definition under GDPR

You're totally right, the content of your posts is not considered personal data (because it isn't) It's more about profiling data that can be connected back to your actual person
