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.
