Should I delete my existing bad social medias accounts or just let them die by stagnation? (feddit.it)

For some of them I kind of lost access so I would need to write emails to instagram or whatever, for others I would need to remember and to access to each one of them and delete them.

The hardest would be gmail with people having my contacts from like 10 years ago..

I’ve been manually deleting all my actions on my sites. No engagment brings stats down. Then deactivating!

I wish there was a way to infact just poison every one of my interactions. That would be far more fun.

There is with Reddit! If you browse enough old posts you'll inevitably come across a profile who's history entirely consists of "I've quit and gone to Lemmy".

More like "red cook lift land sand sun loft soft yes bag -- this message was deleted by redact"

I was thinking that we am actually good use for AI. Please crawl through all my interactions and replace them with psycobabble and horticulture quote.
