Tell HN: It's impossible to delete my GitHub account
1. If you go to account settings you are greeted with a disabled "delete my account button" and suggestion to create a ticket
2. If I go to https://support.github.com/request , they automatically redirect me to "Account Reinstatement Request". I guess they made it for usability but now I have to fill out a form about reinstating my account.
2.1. To add insult to injury, this form has a line "If you are requesting support for your account not related to moderation limits made on your account by GitHub please raise a support ticket instead". So the person designing this form was not aware of the forced redirect
3. I cannot create any ticket. It says "your ticket is created" but there's nothing in the list of tickets afterwards
4. You can also write an email to dpo@github.com and request your account deletion. But you will be greeted by an automated reply telling you to use the ticketing system.
