Internet Graveyard

Here lies the many accounts I've killed...

I've been on the internet since I was very young.
It's a different place now, you don't need me to tell you that.
In fact, chances are, if you're seeing this right now, you probably
have a better understanding of internet safety than I do.

The need to cull the amount of accounts I have online
obviously has a fair bit to do with privacy and the
number of databreaches in which I've been alerted that
my data has been leaked.
But funnily enough, it is mainly due to the fact that I'm
losing track of my emails.
I joined a local volunteer group and I realised recently that I
have missed every meeting they've held - because they communicate
by email and I've been conditioned to an extent to ignore anything
that comes into my inbox.

I think spam has become such a normal part of life on the internet
that it takes an active effort to even notice it. I only really noticed
this year.

Because I've practically grown up on the internet, I initially struggled with
the idea of eradicating my online presence. I didn't have home videos to look back
on to learn about my childhood. I had Instagram.
I want to be able to document my accounts here and even share some advice on
removing your accounts online for others looking to do the same. They certaintly
don't make it easy but it's important to protect yourself in a space where your
every move is recorded and used to build an advertisement profile.

Stay safe out there.
