Would probably need to message the admin of the instance
Does a username go into a black hole if someone using it deletes their account?
I was always under the understanding that an account deletion deletes information, I would have thought they could just recreate the user. But I could be mistaken
That is probably intentionally prevented by just soft-deleting the user so links from comments, posts,... to their author aren't lost. Not to mention potential security issues if you could just make a user that previously belonged to someone else. Honestly just isn't worth the headache to allow reuse of usernames.
Use KeyOxide and verify proofs of other platforms you have access too and just prooflink your new account.
