That reminds me, it's time for my ~monthly Reddit account deletion to avoid karma cravings.
I wish HN would do account deletion the same way Reddit does. They argue it would harm the flow of conversations, but I'd argue the conversations here aren't a sacred as they make them out to be.
Just denying myself access to the account isn't the same, I tried it and had to ask support to give it back. I don't like to have 11 years of content sitting out there that's tied to me that I can't control in anyway (account used to be my real name, but support changed it after a minor stalking incident, but there's enough data for figuring it out).
- b3morales 5y agoCould you do something like, change the password to a random string, put that in a file, and encrypt the file but have that password only known by someone else? Then it is accessible only if absolutely necessary.
- kgwxd 5y agoI guess, but I'm not really looking to get rid of it because I'm addicted or anything like that, I just want it gone. It's my account, it should be my option.
