I signed up kbin.social but have since decided to go all in on Lemmy. I’ve tried all day to delete my account on kbin but it won’t let me. Once I click the delete confirmation pop up it simply reloads the feed and keeps your account.

Be warned. Currently you have no control over your data there. I think that settles it for me. I won’t be using that service again.

@Jezebelley Kbin.social shows a small banner after requesting deletion. Whilst it is very unnoticeable, I believe it means the instance admin will have to manually remove content for now.

Thank you! I just noticed that. They have to manually delete the account as it just submits a request. Are you kidding me? What an inefficient system.

kbin is fairly new and just has one developer working on it, who's also the sole admin of an instance that's constantly under heavy load.

A little wait will not hurt you.
