Ask HackerNews: How do I delete my HackerNews account?

3 pointsomouse3 comments

So how do I delete this thing? It's been great y'all but the submissions leave something to be desired.

Just leave.

Why do you want to delete it? Just leave, don't use your account anymore, and don't ever come back.

(Not telling you to leave, I would love for you to stay, but there's really no reason to 'officialy' delete your account)

Change your email to something fake, randomly bang on the keyboard to create a password you don't know, and logout.

That's not a solution, that's a hacky workaround.
