DeBank has a new product feature "Address Suicide" and after some Twitter feedback they are considering changing it. I appreciate DeBank saying they will listen to feedback.

For context, there is an opcode in Ethereum called SUICIDE. That term is not used in any of the high level languages (Solidity, Vyper) or tooling today. I wrote EIP-6 to address this because of my struggles with mental health and more importantly hearing from others.

I have received dozens of DMs over the years from people who aren't public about their mental health issues thanking me for writing the EIP.

I would like to see they responds. Mistakes like this aren't always malicious or purposeful.

I have hope DeBank will change their mind about the naming, but I have 0 intention to dwell on this and this could be a cultural barrier or other issue that is easy to fix.
