I assume this was a thread about people who should be blocked (i.e. who are harmful or unproductive to Stacker News).

I already deleted Twitter and Reddit, left Matrix rooms and closed my projects (deleted Bitejo Marketplace, gave Kuno Fundraisers to a new dev, deleted Agorism Blog).

I read some time ago that to delete your account, you should refund the zaps (I think here: #121323). It sounds fair, as otherwise you would have taken the money but given nothing in return (=deleted post).

I guess I could delete the posts about my personal life and immoral actions (= the main harmful/inappropriate posts) and possibly leave anything that is purely technical (e.g. the post to BlokchainB was just about Bisq, HodlHodl and Bitcoin ATMs, so it's fine and inoffensive).

Removed the inappropriate/unethical posts. Fortunately most of them had 0 zaps or a low amount (1-10).

There is now a debt of 14,935 sats across 100~ deleted posts. There is a separate debt of 11.1k sats for a single post, which may have been from one person, but I don't know who.

This is much more manageable to repay. It may make sense to deposit the sats then send them to k00b so he can add them to the pool.

The remaining posts (including the large bounty from BlokchainB and generous zap from Nout) don't contain offensive content, so they can stay.

I checked and the main refunds would be:

Refund 1 million sats to BlokchainB: #12106 (I spent this on rent at the time, as I didn't have stable income)
Refund 100k sats to Nout: #144102 (I spent this on 2 months of VPS hosting at the time, as I didn't have work but still needed to keep the VPS to improve dev skills and work on personal projects)

Then there are many individual small zaps, which make 82k sats in total, which could be possible to repay sooner (I have around $35 in savings, but need to keep some for VPS costs).
