RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I'm in the process of moving over all my photos etc. from Google-Photos to Immich, some pics dating back to 2006 So it's 20 years of photos etc.

There is a LOT of photos mixed in there with me and ex's where we went on trips and traveled together etc.
Pics where they are in group shots with friends, spicy pics, pics with family during Christmas etc.

I'm a bit conflicted about what do do with these.
Spicy pics should probably be deleted. Pics where they happen to be in group shots with family or friends feel excessive to delete?

There's a lot of great memories there, it's a 20 year photo diary of things I've done in my life and places I've been. Do I delete any containing ex's and lose those memories? How do I even begin to do this there are 20k photos mixed in over 20 years

Why do you want to delete them at all?

Thought a future partner might feel weird about me having them, I wouldn't mind if they had pics like this, so they probably wouldn't mind either. IDK

I also wouldn't mind giving my future partner full access to my Immich once we're very serious.

If someone demanded from me to sanitize my past, that would be a huge red flag:
Am I also not allowed to talk about any events I shared with former partners?

Deleting the spicy pics is different, of course.
With those, the conversation shifts to "Why would you want to keep them?"

Yea, That's my feeling too.
