How can I delete my account? (self.support)

I’m moving to delete my account. Doing so logs me out.

But the account still exists. I can sign right back in.

How can I delete it permanently?

I don't feel the need to go into detail, but it was an interaction in the mod discord that changed my mind.

Deciding to contribute regularly, let alone to mod a community, isn't a light decision for me. It's a lot of time and effort to spend.

So for me it doesn't take more than one interaction that feels disrespectful and dismissive to decide that my time and energy is better spent elsewhere. I've been around more than one online community and feel as if I can recognize patterns by now. That's what made me want to take my time and attention to another instance.

If the other party to that interaction wants to weigh in, that's well within their power to do.

Good for you. The great thing about fediverse is that we can pick up and go somewhere else. Fediverse is a big place and hopefully you're treated better wherever you end up.
