Woke up 🥱 Back to the tech bullshit.

spoiler

I’ve already switched to Duck Duck Go on my phone which is a bit hard to get used to. Oh well. Gotta do it on the computer now. I’m making non-Gmail versions of my emails and replacing them on the appropriate platforms to ensure I retain access to those connected services if I lose access to the gmail (even if it’s only to have the option to overwrite or delete them). Reddit is demanding government id now so I’m wondering whether I should use that addon to mass redact my posts and delete my account. It breaks my heart to do it. It’s a lot of history with some fantastic people, so many posts with Melbcat including adopting her, and it all probably documents stuff I might want to refer to. And it’s the last nail in the coffin of me potentially returning there. </3 At the same time I don’t trust Spez with his intent to emulate Musk and the way he handled changes to the site, am annoyed I didn’t do it before ai scraped my content, and it’s possibly better not to leave so much personal info sitting on there. I wonder if there’s a way to download it for myself and then wipe it off Reddit. I don’t know. I’ll have to see how long I have to decide. Probably not long :( Next on the agenda is getting my photos and files back off the cloud. Need to see how long I have to do that.

The privacy and physical media buffs were so right. I didn’t have the time or savvy to be preventative but I can try my best now.
