    Android Thunder. Three dots below message you wrote. Delete at bottom.

    Note that short of deleting your account, messages aren’t deleted with Lemmy. They’re marked hidden in the html. You can see them with view source.

      The permadelete_for_creator function (called by the purge_user_account function, which is called by the delete_user_account handler when delete content is true) updates every comment of the user to contain the predefined text “Permanently Deleted”.

          Thunder has a “Delete Account” option in the account settings.

      That’s kinda misleading if it says delete but doesn’t really do so.
