Written content can contain pii, but it's rarer. Written content isn't, by default, pii, but if someone tells anything reasonably pii the entire text can be consisted pii even when anonymized.

Yeah as someone who had to deal with GDPR in a professional capacity, it's probably better to just assume that content written by users contains PII since you really have no way of telling whether it does or doesn't.

Naturally you can just ignore that and leave the content as-is, but then you run the risk of some data protection authority ruining your day.
