  I don’t use my WordPress.com site. I do use my wordpress.org site.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  So, as long as you aren’t using any WordPress.com-connected services like Jetpack, Akismet, or WooCommerce, you can safely close your WordPress.com account without affecting your WordPress.org site. :)
