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?

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
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
