Deleted all my accounts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Numpty@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (4 children) And if you deleted all your comments... they undeleted everything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago I don’t think this was true.
