Slowly but surely, erasing some of my Internet footprints

Why?

No particular reason other than being in the process of deleting accounts I don't care to use... some of those accounts happen to be on social media platforms. I am doing the same for e-commerce sites I no longer care about.

There is no good argument to leave personal data or your old content behind, spread all over the Internet, so I'm cleaning up my tracks, closing accounts, and deleting random stuff I created.

Relax; there is plenty of stuff to entertain and educate you all over the Internet. I'm sure no one will notice I'm no longer around.

Keeping some lights on... and some content public :–)

My Mastodon account, personal blog, and this site are still up and running, and I have no immediate plans to shut them down. They will disappear eventually, just not today.
