While trying to log out or remove my account today I used the delete current account option. I had no idea this meant it was deleting my entire lemmy account! I was able to get it restored by a kind mod but all of my posts and comments are permanently gone.

Can we get a better explanation for this button in the app to prevent others from making the same mistake?

    It doesn’t need to be an essay. Delete actions often have second warnings. An ‘Are you Sure? This will permanently delete your account from xyz.com.” with a Yes/No might be all that’s needed.
