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.

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

@[email protected] 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.

lemmy is in a weird spot generally with the GDPR in a way that we can't really design around tbh. in any case this is almost certainly a general lemmy bug or something being caused by what we did to come up after the XSS issue because we haven't tinkered with the delete account settings. someone also just tested self-removing as mod and replicated the weirdness you experienced there
