  Definitely not I. The whole point of giving you guys full control of your accounts is you can do this to your own account any time you like. I heard last week that we lost Baku, also. That one was sad, I was going to share a year’s streak of my own (for running) after he shared a year of Duolingo. But, he was gone.

  Maybe they’ll be back one day?

    Oh no. That’s sad too!

    I do wish that deleting your account didn’t automatically delete all of your posts & comments on Lemmy. It’s one thing for that to be an option people can have if they want, but I doubt most users deleting their accounts are doing so because they want to clear out everything they’ve ever said.

      Keeping in mind that this is new to us, we’re learning as it happens.
      Deleting your account doesn’t appear to actually delete your posts/comments. It appears to just kill your profile page, making it so you can’t just go to /u/username and see your post/comment history. However you can still go past posts and see the previous user interaction.

        Their comments in this thread are what made me notice it. Maybe they did actually deliberately choose to delete those, but I thought it seemed unlikely to be that, in context.

      Left. The comment linked by @MHLoppy@fedia.io provides more explanation.
