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?
just as a side note, you have a LOT of comments. if you can bring yourself to do it, it’d be cool if you could just not delete the account. it’d be a shame to lose all that content, lemmy is in its’ early days still. sometimes it’s non-negotiable though, i get that. good luck.
My feelings about beehaw as a community changed today, which is why I’m leaving.
But I will give some thought to it. Maybe if the admins don’t delete it I can leave it in place and the comments and posts can be of some use to someone.
I apologise if I’m asking something too private, but I would be interested in knowing what happened. It looks like you were a very active member. I’m nowhere near as active as you are but have been struggling with some complex feelings towards beehaw, and would love to hear your thoughts.
may I ask what’s changed for you? just curious! not sure if I’ve missed something or if it’s just for personal reasons.
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.
sucks to hear that your feelings have changed, but im glad you see the value of the comments and posts this way. content is invaluable, i hope it doesn’t have to be deleted. best of luck on your journey <3
@alyaza@beehaw.org Frogman has a good point so maybe we can leave it as-is. I just won’t use it.
Still it should probably be fixed before you get a letter from a lawyer about GDPR violations.
to clarify: you are using the bottom most button here, and it is logging you out but then you can still log in?
I can’t seem to leave the c/news mod team either.
hmm, interesting. i can’t remove you either (which suggests it has been done) but it still displays. do you still have powers?
I just locked your post, but I can’t remove anymore https://beehaw.org/post/1051360?scrollToComments=true
weird. i can remove you now so that’s been done; i’ve sent this and the account deletion issue (if it is one–might just be running slow? not sure) to the other admins to see if there’s anything weird going on here we need to fix.
