Ask HN: How do I delete my account?

[quoderat]

I don't find any functionality to do this.

The market worship is just not for me. I'll probably still visit for the articles, but commenting here just depresses me too much so I don't want to do it anymore.

Not trying to make a big production out of it all, but would like my account deleted. Thanks.

Just log out. Problem solved.

That being said, don't let the fact that one comment got downmodded scare you away. People have opinions on all sorts of things; eventually you're going to run into the fact that people are bound to disagree with you. Hopefully you can take a few days and realize that there aren't too many places on the net where someone can disagree with you and do it respectfully with reasoned responses.

Not to be harsh, but by posting a submission you are making a big production of it.

I'm incredibly curious... what was the straw that broke the camel's back here?

I get the sense that HN does lean pro-market, non-political, and unreligious (pg is just about the only person I catch actually bagging on religion, but maybe I am just paying extra attention to him). Reddit leans anti-market, very political, and extreme in the anti-religion aspect.

What are you looking for, and where are you planning on going to contribute after you leave? (I understand you will still be reading articles)

What's the negative implication if you just stop submitting and commenting on articles?

Do you want your profile removed from search results?

I suggest changing your password to something you won't remember.

I agree, deleting is undesireable.

@quoderat I looked at some of your submissions and comments, and I'm hoping you don't get your wish... at least not until I've had time to read through your interesting contributions. :)
