Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?
Comment on [PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess

I edit over and then delete all my comments every few days. I’ve never encountered a site that truly purges your account so as annoying it is it just feels necessary at this point

Once you’ve been doxxed you tend to put more effort into covering your tracks lol

I do the same (though I have automated the process). I’m thinking of also undoing any votes just in case.
Edit+delete doesn’t remove content when servers defederate each other, unfortunately. I suspect this can be fixed if you control the Lemmy server your account is hosted on, but I haven’t bothered exploring that yet.

Oooo is this automatic process something that’s easy to replicate?

It’s a Rust program I wrote that runs on my Lemmy server, but in theory it should work with any Lemmy server.
I’ve thrown the code and a compiled version of the binaries on Github if you’re interested: source binary downloads
