How do I delete my account?

I’ve been trying to delete my current kbin account because I don’t wanna use it. I realised that I actually don’t need it and want to stick to using my Mastodon account for everything, but it seems like I can’t just have it be deleted? I tried to request deletion, but I neither got an email as a confirmation that anything is being processed, nor has my account been deleted and it’s been days since the request and I’ve tried requesting it multiple times since then.

From my understanding of the GDPR, this seems to be a direct violation of my right to erasure, however, I’m gonna be gentle and blame the current circumstances on the alpha state of the software (even though this shouldn’t have been an afterthought).

Does anyone know how I could get this settled?
Thanks 😊

Hover over your account name in the top right. You'll see Profile and then Settings. In that settings page at the bottom is a Delete button.

I know and I said in my post that it doesn’t delete anything. It tells me that the deletion was requested, but nothing happens and the account is still up. The one I intend to delete is the one I’m typing this comment from, btw.

I’ve requested the deletion 2 days ago & I don’t expect the account to be deleted that quickly, although it would’ve been nicer if it were, but at least I could get a confirmation per mail or sth that my request is indeed being processed. Right now I can’t tell if the deletion has been truly requested or not.
