The reply may be a little abrupt, but the original question raises a valid point -- without a 'delete account' function subscribers don't have control over their own data. And control over your own data is the primary tenet of !privacy. But @gargon raises valid issues about the difficulty of implementing a 'delete account' function. Still, when someone is just "testing out" a service it would be prudent not to test it with data intended to be private. #mastodon
