Most posts from what I see are now ‘’meme’s’’, ‘‘I justify pirate because…’’ and ‘’This is my collection!’’. Pretty much just hurr-durr look and upvote me kind of content.

/r/piracy wasn't much different in that regard when I unsubbed from it, long before leaving reddit last summer. It happens anytime there's a large enough userbase, as that sort of content is easier to create and consume, the latter making it more likely to get voted up.

Thank god you're there to let him know. He never would have realized otherwise.

And even then, it probably won't be especially quick. It's a manual process, and it seems like there's other priorities at the moment...

Can also be done via trakt or imdb lists, if you're paying more attention to what you're doing than OP.

I'm aware of the complaint, and stand by my comment.

Which browsers don't let you change the default search? Firefox does. Chromium-based browsers do. I believe that alone covers "most browsers," though I'm curious if any actually don't allow that to be changed.

Seconding this, as it's my go-to for anything that's not for sale on Bandcamp and has treated me well.

Consider it done, but I wanted to make an attempt to understand your reasoning first in case I was missing a compelling reason the deletion was urgent/useful. Glad to know I wasn't.

Edit: I meant to also express my frustration that most browsers do not let you select a “default search engine” that can be used in the address bar aside from 3-5 pre-chosen engines. Seems like 2023 we should be able to customize that to our own liking.

Which browsers don't? I think this one can likely be chalked up to user error.

I'm pretty sure most browsers can. Pretty sure OP's complaint's a big misplaced on that one.

If my account is deleted, it’s done and over with.

And if you log out and walk away, it's done and over with. I'm not seeing much of a case for it being all that different. You're just choosing to stay any whine rather than leaving the account be.

Plus, I want to delete my posts.

Realistically, the nature of federation makes that practically impossible anyway. Even if deleted from kbin, your shitty posts have already been copied to all the federated instances.

Anyway, why do you care so much? Practically speaking, why does it matter to you personally whether my account is is deleted or whether I just stop posting but keep my account active? Why is it so important to you that I not be allowed to delete my account?

Because your pointless bitching shows up in my feed. To be clear, I don't give a shit if your account gets created or not. But if you logged out and walked away, kbin would be a bit better for it. Hence, I'm encouraging you to do that.

Why do I have to be on trial for wanting to delete my account?

You're not on trial; you're being told how to effectively solve this situation yourself. You're the one that posted this, knowing the vast majority of people who saw the post don't have any more ability to delete the account than you do.

you all won’t even let me leave!

That you choose to get defensive and keep using the account is a choice you're making, not something anyone's forcing upon you.

You can get USB-C to HDMI adapters that serve this purpose. I bought one a while back for like $15 on Amazon along with a cheap HDMI switch, and will use it to flip a spare monitor to watch video sometimes when I'm not working especially hard.
