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.

You don't control the data either way. Federation and deletion are in conflict. Even if you deleted the account, there is no guarantee it would be deleted from other servers that the data was copied to. (And to be clear, Lemmy has exactly the same issue.)

Do these regulations even apply in this case? Lemmy is non-commercial and it’s a distributed. Who would the regulators even go after?
