Ask HN: How do I delete my account?

That being said, don't let the fact that one comment got downmodded scare you away. People have opinions on all sorts of things; eventually you're going to run into the fact that people are bound to disagree with you. Hopefully you can take a few days and realize that there aren't too many places on the net where someone can disagree with you and do it respectfully with reasoned responses.

I get the sense that HN does lean pro-market, non-political, and unreligious (pg is just about the only person I catch actually bagging on religion, but maybe I am just paying extra attention to him). Reddit leans anti-market, very political, and extreme in the anti-religion aspect.

What are you looking for, and where are you planning on going to contribute after you leave? (I understand you will still be reading articles)

Do you want your profile removed from search results?
