   One of the things holding back account deletion is federation.

   When you delete an account, you send a Delete object to every known instance to remove data from remote instances.

   This wouldn't be a problem if pixelfed didn't federate.

     @sean Account deletion has to be done in a specific order, its still a WIP.

     @mike Yeah, sounds similar to what pixelfed will do. I added soft-deletes to relevant tables a few months back. The only thing not deleted is the username to prevent it from being registered again.
