I’ve been sifting through my digital footprint for a while now and I’m getting to my old accounts that I’ve mostly forgotten about. I thought it would be fun if we shared what we delete, you just might jog someone else’s memory of an account they still have floating around.

Some of these have been for privacy and FLOSS ideology over the past 5 years, but anyway...

Fully deleted:

Windows -> Linux (mostly; have a Windows VM I don't use and needed hubby's Windows installation for the MSM download tool for some old phones a while back).

Instagram -> nothing

WhatsApp -> Signal, Matrix/Element, SMS (friends understood, lost some community groups and annoyed others)

LineageOS w/GAPPS -> LineageOS for MicroG -> DivestOS (RIP) -> GrapheneOS (-> trying to move to UBPorts Ubuntu Touch)

Twilio Authy -> Aegis

BitWarden -> KeePass (this one was purely because disentangling from US services and it still hurts, ❤BitWarden)

Google Maps -> Organic Maps + browser Google Maps without location

Still have but use very little:

Facebook -> nothing (marketplace and some niche old-person hobby advice)

Gmail -> Proton -> Tutanota (lingering registrations, occasionally collaboration through Google Drive)

Google Drive -> Hetzner-hosted Nextcloud (for calendar, contacts, backups, etc)

Reddit -> Lemmy -> Piefed (kept for some hobby groups I might need to ask sometime)

Youtube -> Arte, local public TV streaming (YLE Areena) (for what I first check for passive entertainment)
