[Insert: This is not legal advice blurb, don't do and don't encourage anything illegal]

[Insert: appeal to authority as to why I should post this question and should have your attention]

[Insert: divulging something specific only to me or to maybe a few hundred people in [country/continent] to ideally encourage engagement so more people reply]

Theoretically deleting the account will scrub at least my comments, and I'm hoping if it takes them long enough any backups will be overwritten. It's not like I was advocating for violent action or anything, but I do work in a sensitive position and I don't need something I said in my free time and thought to cause me problems.
