Why are we giving this person their stage again? How probable is it that the instance admins of the like 15 instances they have accounts on will all collectively ban him? It’s just your average nazi spammer on the internet. You’ve read that “bio” this person has. Even if they get banned, they’ll come back just on principle. Just block him like any sane person would do, leave him shadow banned like that with his nazi friends, and call it a day.

According to the lemmy devs, deleting your account also overwrites and purges your comments and posts. This deletion is being federated - but other servers may choose to ignore it, be buggy, down or whatever, and therefore not fully deleting your content there.
Since lemmy is decentralized, that’s as close to a full deletion as you’ll get, and to quote your rationale, that’ll be the only bridge you’ll be able to burn.
Side note: Why are several of you so aggressive on a simple question? If they want to leave the platform and delete their content, why shouldn’t they, especially since that is absolutely non-trivial on a decentralized platform?
No, but the more people block them, the less up votes and visibility they will receive for their posts.
