What do you do if you made a second account on an instance and cannot log into it? (beehaw.org)

It’s been a stressful week online. I had an account on Bluesky, but due to recent political conflicts that have arisen I no longer want to be there. I tried to delete my bluesky account, but it was on my gmail which I’d also deleted, so I changed the email on Bluesky to the one I currently use, and now I can’t delete it because the delete confirmation code will only send to the defunct email address. Then over on a Lemmy instance, I had two accounts. I logged out of my original and used a second one for a bit. I logged out of that and tried to log back into the first account, to no avail. I messaged admins, but recieved no reply. I messaged Bluesky but recieved no reply. I’m stuck everywhere. I’m stuck on Bluesky. I’m stuck on that other instance. I just want some kind of autonomy. :( This is so frustrating.

You can recover a deleted gmail account if you did it recently, though I'm not sure how long you have. Not much more you can do if the admins don't respond.

Oh yes, I got in touch with one of the admins. It’s all been sorted out. I’ll delete this post. Everything’s good now. 👍
