How to Remove a Kinja account

Kinja is an online brand of Gawker media that counts some very popular and interesting blogs such as Jezebel, Gizmodo and Lifehacker. But if you created a Kinja account and you’re thinking about closing it, this blog might help you on your way out.

 1  Consulting Gawker.com first:

We read that it’s impossible to have your account removed and they won’t respond any request to do this (source: http://help.gawker.com/customer/portal/articles/1184126-can-i-delete-my-kinja-account-). The only thing we can do then, is remove our personal data…
 2  Log in to your Kinja account
 3  Choose Account Settings (in the top right corner)
 4  Change all your personal data to ‘Lorem Ipsum’ and remove your profile picture
By personal data I mean:

    Display name
    Username
    Blog URL
    Connection to social media accounts

Don’t forget to Save afterwards.

I know… It’s not a permanent removal, but nobody can recognize your account anymore from now on (as you removed your info and picture). It’s the closest we can bring you to a complete closure of your profile.
