I like to know where to reach out for people, so I tend to inform others of where they can reach me or when I stop using a service, until its deletion.

I find it frustrating when I send a message to somebody that will never read them. It’s worse than sending a message in a bottle, because you send a message in a sea of seas, with only one person able to read it.

I believe the reason this happens is because we never told others we were not checking a specific media any more, and did not make the effort to clean behind us.

So here is what I cleaned from 2018 up until now, and why.

The link on the name of the service leads to a way to delete your own account.

People can follow me with this blog’s RSS feed or what I like on juji, my “liked” RSS feed.

• Amazon: I prefer to support local shops or smaller structures. It makes me go out more and the city more lively.

• Calm: I don’t actually need this service to meditate if I want.

• Diaspora: One can follow my activity with the instructions above.

• Exode.me: A Peertube instance which I quickly deleted.

• Facebook: One can follow my activity with the instructions above.

• Fotolia: It got merged with Adobe Stock and I was not using it.

• Franz: I am trying to better communication, not make it more complicated by being everywhere. I tried Franz but was not convinced the software would bring me anything new, beside yet another way to get hacked into.

• Funkwhale.mastodon.host: I’m curious and like music, so I tried this instance, but moved to open.audio soon after.

• Gmail: I had an automated message for years; it replied I was not using gmail any more. I just removed the account after checking nothing important was still coming in.

• Instagram: I stopped using it a few days after Instagram stopped showing its newsfeeds as timelines, a while after limiting their API.

• Italki: I stopped using this service years ago.

• Myspace: Myspace is like an old Facebook now in a deep coma.

• Yahoo!: That includes Flickr as well. One can follow my activity with the instructions above.

• Youtube: I don’t see the point for me to have an account on Youtube.
