I have begun to delete online accounts that I know, for sure, I no longer need.

Realized I over the decades have created way way over 1,000 accounts online, but obviously only using a fraction of them. Which of course is not very smart, seen from security.

At least most of them are created with a long complex password, thanks #Bitwarden and many using #MFA, but that is simply not enough.

I rarely look at my messages on Instagram as they’re almost exclusively fake sexy lady spam. I looked and I had a greeting from an attractive gay dude with some mutual followers. I said hi back and he’s responded back and such. Despite his possibly being a real person and still waiting for the “hello How are you doing?” Conversation to turn into him trying to sell me something.

Ooo .. not a new article - but a interesting take on the collaboration and 'networked curation' we're all part of .. one of the things that fascinated me when I first started to properly pay attention to BTS / Army .. and still does. :blobcatreading:

Have you ever thought about what people think of you on social media? I suppose we all portrait ourselves differently online. It’s probably hard for some to believe if I would say I’m actually quite an introvert person. I consider myself socially awkward. Maybe that is why I’m here?

Hello all, does any one here please have any insight into #Twitter #moderation and how they decide what violates the rules? I’ve reported posts where people have manipulated my photo in a sleazy way, two others where I’ve been called a name, a few others where it’s clear I’ve been harassed. I’ve gone back to them and have asked why, but I’m also planning on writing about this. Some it seems they’ve just moderated them automatically. Thanks #extwitter #journorequest #onlinelife #digitalspace

I haven't written on this blog in almost 10 years. I was writing my thoughts as my first marriage imploded.

I wanted to write out my thoughts about my first two weeks here. #mastodontips #writing #blogging #community #onlinelife #socialmedia #socialnetworking #cominghome

I told someone that I was moving away from Twitter and they asked “what happened to Twitter….. “. I mean, I know there *are* people who are not constantly online, but….. #onlinelife

I can't help but chuckle noticing how every normie out there is just now discovering what we've been doing since the 1990s. :thinkhappy: #onlinelife
