Can someone else confirm this behaviour? It doesn't let you even confirm the delete, just does nothing. PS. Not a troll to get people to delete their accounts. You have to enter you password after clicking delete!
I have a workaround solution that worked for me: enter an email address, even a fake one like aaa@bbb.xyz, then save the change. Now, erase the address, click on "Delete Account", and the page shouldn't reload because a missing email error (don't have the exact formulation in mind) should be notified. After inputting your password in the new textbox asking for it, don't forget to re-enter the mail address before confirming the deletion.

I know you're joking but I was just moving to a different instance. :)

Why not just keep it as a backup?

Pedantic about unnecessary accounts I guess.

We are very different people.

It's probably just me but this exchange is just hilarious.

Create a bugreport on github if you can.

You're just trying to trick me into deleting my account! Nice try, but I'm 3 steps ahead of you!

I deleted OP's account in a show of solidarity. For our freedom and yours!

Are you using a browser? Which one? And desktop or mobile?
I had issues signing up to any Lemmy instance with Firefox mobile but it just worked on Firefox desktop.

Did a typo when creating my username, could delete the old one without any difficulty
