This weekend’s absolute fucking shit-show could’ve gone better1, and for the second time2 — after some well-intentioned efforts by Lotte in that thread that ultimately left her feeling even more burnt out and apathetic about humanity — decided I was done for good.

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Change your email address to something no-one can ever access — the .example TLD is a wonderful provision for this purpose. You do not need to verify your email address to change it, which is why this works.
  2. Delete your account normally.
  3. Profit!

You can only reactivate your account by resetting its password, which involves you receiving an email that can no longer be received.

11.5 years and 1500 comments later — good. bye.


best hits:

  1. thanks for re-opening that can of worms, mtlynch! love that for queer folks!

  2. this was the last straw (the second!) after SO MANY conversations that left me feeling utterly dead. allies, please understand — it’s not enough to upvote. there are way more of them, and they are a lot less exhausted.
