Can't delete account? (lemmy.world)

What's the point of having a delete account feature if you can log back into it immediately?

I do not believe that is correct. Accounts are strictly local and linked to your home instance.

I do mean the local db.

An instance the size of lemmy.world I would hope has separate read and write databases and the delay would be updating the read database after the write db has finished the transaction.

Ah, fair enough!

Even though they are strictly local the nicks are still saved on other instances.. And that's what's going to take time If he's right. Down vote me all you want but that is my logic. Would be great to hear from some of the devs on how this actually work.

The nickname might be saved elsewhere, but once the local account is deleted you shouldn't be able to log back in.
