I think they actually removed the ability to delete it. Andrea looked this morning and she could only "deactivate" it.
She wasn't using it and now it seems like she can't even close it out.
Deactivate it. Delete it if you can. Sure set up a Bluesky if you need a corporate-owned, crypto-backed, capitalist social media account for some reason.
Never post your real name, or your face on Bluesky either. Go back to the early 90's rules for the information super highway. Don't post identifying information online unless it's E2EE.

The Fediverse isn't corporate owned. Not yet. It's also doesn't offer E2EE.
Yes I'm posting my face. My real name. Yes I've identified the city, county and state I live.
I'm a fool. Learn from me.

@tamitha My name's out there and has been out there since the beginning. It's on archived pages and everything.
Never been a "real names" advocate. It was just a personal choice. The idea was to reassure folks wandering into a new Internet full of pseudonyms.
Thinking of symbolically scrubbing my site to pseudonymous, to model a different choice for an Internet that's not new anymore.

@randomgeek Yeah... I went all "real name" years ago. Silly me, right?

@tamitha Live and learn, I guess. Well, most of us learn. I hope.
