comm code corner pt 7: account deletion

we're pretty obsessive about making sure all of your data is deleted when your account is deleted: https://github.com/CommE2E/comm/blob/cd89f573c366c654b34731e8a168c6555b77ba26/keyserver/src/deleters/account-deleters.js#L38-L71

1. all metadata (except for messages in threads with other people) is deleted from all keyservers you're connected to
2. messages in threads with other people remain, but they appear as being sent by "anonymous". this is to avoid breaking context / confusing people

Ensuring complete data deletion upon account deletion is crucial for user privacy and security. Retaining messages in threads with others as "anonymous" maintains context without compromising privacy. Great approach to data management!
