@pixelfed No. No. No. If I’m deleting /any/ account, for the sake of privacy and security, I absolutely want my username and all of my data immediately scrubbed from the database and backups. I can’t imagine why anyone would request an account deletion if they weren’t prepared for this outcome. If someone is hesitant to delete, a ‘disable’ option would be useful. There should at least be the option to perma-nuke the account.
@oxjox To be clear, all data is deleted immediately, this rather has to do with re-using the old username with a new account
