Is there a tried and true method to delete a Lemmy account?locked

Looking to leave Lemmy and I’d like to erase my presence here if possible, can this be done? I’ve looked into it and from what I’ve seen, the suggested method is to just not post any more. Which is easy enough, but will I have to manually remove ALL content for all of my accounts in other to remove myself entirely from here?

I feel pretty similar, have you found a different site you think you'll like better?

Not really. I lurk in Reddit for some of the game-related content I need, and just get news from Reuters and such.

Sadly, everything is so polarized now that it’s impossible to find a comfortable place for voice of reason-based content without either being yelled at, called names, or flat out banned for disagreeing with the hive.

Man you’ve been arguing all throughout your post history and calling people names. While also being super antagonistic in how you engage discourse. Then this haughty post about deleting your account and wanting the related post gone as well. Why not just leave the account? If you don’t care who reads the posts and it’s nothing more than some symbolic bridge burning; I would have thought you’d just leave once you realise it would be a headache.

The next place you go to I hope you examine your own posting and language you use if you’re going to leave websites citing polarised politics and how toxic the discourse is. If you end up keeping on, block specifically political instances (and any instance you don’t care for its politics) and learn to leave a discussion when it descends into name calling/flaming. Internet based discourse is nearly always a waste of time for politics. You’re talking to people through screens; few of whom will feel any obligation to be civil because of that fact alone.

Point it out to me an instance where I was antagonistic where I wasn’t just defending myself from others attacking me?

This is exactly my point. You say something/ask a question, then people insult/ridicule, then you defend/explain yourself and become the villain to their victim.

It’s pathetic.
