+All your content and user data, etc is instantly removed. For all intents and purposes, the account is gone in moments.  
 
+We then send out an "unfriend" signal to all of your contacts.
+This signal deletes all content on those networks.
+Unfortunately, due to limitations of the other networks, this only works well with Friendica contacts.
+We allow four days for this, in case some servers were down and the unfriend signal was queued.
+After this, we finish off deleting the account.
