MakeUseOf wrote an article entitled "How to Delete Your Mastodon Account". They continue to get things wrong, and spread misinformation.1. You can use your Mastodon username on different community servers. If I delete this account, I can still get "atomicpoet" elsewhere—and I have. 2. Mastodon is not a singular site, yet MakeUseOf acts like it is.3. Deleting your Mastodon account is not necessarily a "permanent" decision.https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-delete-mastodon-account/@fediversenews

@atomicpoet Have to wonder if this so-called writer (and others) are simply using AI to write for them having seen so much inaccuracy in AI text.

@atomicpoetI mean they are probably correct in that a deleted account is not recoverable on the same Mastodon instance? interesting that they would leave out this important detail seeing they tested on aus.social

@kaia @atomicpoet does mastodon actually delete posts? AP seems only to specify that referencing a deleted post should give 410 gone status or a "tombstone"not a database guy but:it seems tombstones imply actual deletion while it might be possible an AP implementation just pretends stuff to be deleted. pelroma seems to use those.from an optimization standpoint it might make sense to not delete posts first, and just link deleted posts to a "missing"/"deleted" message and only cleanup the whole database every now and than.deleting costs afaik a lot resources
