Not to mention, there are hundreds of people who reached out to me asking to un-delete their accounts.

Despite the clear warning that it's not reversible, people still ask.

Recycling usernames is something @pixelfed is investigating!

DELETED

@dansup seriously if it clearly says it then why ask lol

That's why you never delete accounts immediately. You deactivate them and only actually delete after e.g. 30 days.

@grishka Well I think some jurisdictions like EU require immediate deletion

dansup, of course you would still have immediate deletion as an administrative option you'd use when someone asks you. The idea is to make it hard but not impossible. Putting up such a barrier will immensely help to lower the incidence of people deleting their accounts and changing their mind shortly after.

@dansup @pixelfed in other industries, like the mobile one, depending on the country, phone numbers are frozen for a while before being recycled.

That could work here?

My pixelfed isn't working at all. I can't see anything. I get message page not working. I don't know what happened. It started yesterday.
