Is there anyway yall could make deactivating not permanent? At least not for 30 days, giving users a time period where they can reactivate their account.
I’ve had so many people I know deactivate their accounts and regret it afterwards, or wish they could just shut down their account for a week because of being hit by endless hate anons. Most other social media platforms I know of have a period of time that you can reactivate your account after deactivation. I think something like that would be really beneficial on here.
Answer: Hey there, @automaticllamacycle!
So you’re right. There is currently no community-facing way that you can get your account back in the event it is deleted.
However, we are not too far away from having this technically feasible on our backend, and we don’t think it would take too much work to make it a reality. You’re right on this one—such a feature would be really nice to have, and we’re grateful you drew this to our attention.
Leave this with us—we will see what we can do. In the meantime, you can catch up with updates here at @wip or at @changes, should we have them.
Thanks for your question, and keep ’em coming. Happy weekend!
