I get that world should be an outlier. World does not have the checkbox, it just says “esto eliminará permanentamente todos sus datos de esta instancia” :) Thought that would include posts etc, but if i understood that right, it was working as intended.

As for the other instances, i did use the checkbox and the accounts etc are gone from the home instance but not anywhere else - at least that is true for the slrpnk account on all the instances that i checked.

Now i’m surprised to find my lemm.ee account is actually gone from lemmy.ml and db0. But it is not from world, slrpnk.net, lemmy.ca, sopuli, blahaj, feddit.org, jlai.lu, discuss.online, infosec.pub, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, but at least something seems to have been federated with this deletion.

I deleted those accounts in late December.

I deleted a newly created account on jlaiu.lu two days ago, they’re running 0.19.5 but i think they have the checkbox (which i have then ticked) and my comment and profile deletion has federated nicely over the instances that i checked.

I would not know how to reproduce all this. I just deleted my accounts and checked the checkbox if it was available.

Thank you, Lord Mathias, for blessing me with this insight. I am now at peace. 🙏

What the hell are you on about? Lots of interesting assumptions about me in this topic

BTW the deletion of the jlai.lu account that i created 2 days ago worked just as i would have expected it originally. The comment i posted on here is deleted and the account is not reachable from other instances. Jlai.lu runs an outdated lemmy version (0.19.5)

How again would anybody be mislead if deletions were being federated? Use this answer to answer yourself.

Cheers to the lemmy.nz admin for misleading (very) their users with the futile idea of federation, all across the fediverse, to not just let this funny comment end up in a dead end locally.

Please, call me Steve.

Shut up, Steve. ;)

No.

If you want me to be gone, don’t chat me up and don’t look into this topic. Easy.

Oh right, i think i was telling you that when you asked this in the world matrix chat, when I showed up there, talking about my problem deleting the account in December.

Interesting edit.

Yes. I know it would be good practice to mark it, but that would just ruin it for myself. I hope clarifying on request is sufficient. Wish you a nice day.

Because i was bummed out on lemmy and i just did not want to have a presence here anymore. And honestly this topic feels like a reminder to delete my account again, haha. But i won’t, so that maybe one, two other people may delete their accounts better than me.

Hello Mr. Internet,

do you think that the expected behaviour of the lemmy software would be that account deletions do not get federated whatsoever?

That an account deletion on, say, lemm.ee does not get federated with anybody at all was kind of unexpected to me, i thought this might be interesting for others as well.

Can you guys read?

Holy moly, this place seems to have gotten worse in the last two months lol.

Maybe reread what i wrote and think about why i may find your dunk on world misplaced. That i was defensive about any lw criticism is just not true either.

And yeah, your crusade against world (actually all the instance beefing, you can find examples of me being defensive of criticism of .ml too in my not-deleted accounts) was also part of why i lost hope in the lemmy project. And i did not agree that you create fake traffic in other communities to ask the world mods to shut down their communities, because yours now has more traffic (although it was basically all produced all by you). I thought that was dumb as hell, but you do you. I was more interested in actual communities interested in topics, not instance beef.

I guess that is a bit nicer, although the contact with MrKaplan was totally nice too.

And if your account deletion on your super cool tiny instance is only happening locally, you may not even delete it at all. At least on world you delete your stuff from a third of the lemmyverse in one go, but i’m sure you will be happy to spread some more bad news about world, all in the name to grow the fediverse 😂

Great info, thanks for clueing me in.

… of course you chime in with this take 🙄

• MrKaplan deleted the images for me manually, which i am sure he would not just do for me
• the process is even worse on other instances and they can also only delete images up to a certain point.
