I will say that, because this is so trivial, I wish there was at least a way to delete ones profile here.
It wouldn't imply deleting the content too, the username could just be `[deleted]` or `ghost` or something.

Not that will help much, because all 1013 of your comments[1] are likely archived in at multiple indexes: search engines, hn.algolia.com, the internet archive and half a dozen AI project by HNers

I think allowing for account deletion line reddit does (with all comments attributed to "[deleted]") is bad for following a conversation after the fact. I'm fine with HN's policy here and think they've struck a decent balance. I think this should be a case of "if you're not ok with this, don't post on HN".
