Welcome to the club. Just send an email to dang@yc and he can change your username. Deleting entire accounts and comments would severely break the HN database, so don’t lose any sleep over it.
Why is that tho?
I don’t care if this “breaks your database” or not. It wasn’t a problem for LinkedIn to delete my account and data. It wasn’t a problem for Twitter. It wasn’t a problem for Facebook.
Why is it a problem for you?
Delete my comments, then delete my account. All of it. Not just a rename.
I was here. I contributed for a bit. Now I want to leave, and I don’t want any part of me to stay.
Delete it all, now.
