I signed up kbin.social but have since decided to go all in on Lemmy. I’ve tried all day to delete my account on kbin but it won’t let me. Once I click the delete confirmation pop up it simply reloads the feed and keeps your account.

Be warned. Currently you have no control over your data there. I think that settles it for me. I won’t be using that service again.

    I believe the passwords are stored as hashes, not sent directly to the server, at least I certainly hope so.

      They’re sent directly to the server and stored as hashes. There’s nothing stopping someone from logging the plaintext password, or removing the hash mechanism, though. Make sure to follow best practices and use a unique password on every website.
