Going to delete my account later today and generate a new account. Purpose is to stop using an email address found on the dark web.

Don't know of another way to do it.

@LnzyHou @KGinKS Hi -- If I click on my handle, look all the way right of the screen, click the three dot menu, choose "preferences", then click "Account", I can change my email address.
Here's a shortcut: counter.social/settings/prefer

@b4cks4w @LnzyHou @KGinKS you´ll receive an email to confirm the email address change-but this way you won´t lose the things you´ve posted and folllowers /followings etc. If you encounter another issues just let the community know and if nothing works there´s always a rather competent user support-just give the sole help desk employee a bit of time😊

@b4cks4w @LnzyHou @csforyou

That seems to have worked just fine. Thanks to all of you for the support. CoSo is an awesome community.

@KGinKS That won't stop it and you'll lose connection to any friends and family that use it.

My advice: make sure you let them know how to contact you. Also, setup the new account and then establish a transition period of several months to move all the people that may use that account legitimately to the new one. Then delete it but better yet just stop using it. You might want something stored in it or need it in the future. After 2 years not needing it then delete if you still want to.

@danielbsmith

I'm not following. If I switch everywhere I use the old email address over to the new email address and then delete the old one.
I started a list of places I have email as part of the contact information, so far up to 17. Certainly going to take some time.
