I signed up kbin.social but have since decided to go all in on Lemmy. I’ve tried all day to delete my account on kbin but it won’t let me. Once I click the delete confirmation pop up it simply reloads the feed and keeps your account.
Be warned. Currently you have no control over your data there. I think that settles it for me. I won’t be using that service again.
I am once again reminded of the always relevant XKCD comic

I do see and understand the concern, and honestly, I don’t see a way around it. At some point, you have to supply some information to access services, especially if you want any sort of customization to your experience. I guess if you are really concerned about it, don’t use that email/password/username combo anywhere else.
People should be using a password manager in 2023. No password reuse if you automatically generate new 20+ character passwords for each website or service you use.
Agreed. I use 1Password and love it.
I use Bitwarden, thinking about deploying a local copy of Vaultwarden as a backup as well. I’d be in trouble if access to Bitwarden’s servers went down.
