    @d1@autistics.life like many have said, I dont have control over linkedin and facebook, and I never had whatsapp, instagram accounts. And I dont see amazon in that list, and amazon is a giant pile of invasive, labor exploiting, planet destroying shit. We havent used amazon since 2014. And no more google, period, including THE SMARTPHONE. No smartphones in our home. No bullshit ISP appliance routers on my counter, either. I run my own router.

    @d1@autistics.life Instagram removed my account for me I sinned by never installing the app and bookmarking a few profiles I went to directly from time to time I guess, apparently that's not allowed

    Wow, an interesting pattern is emerging. So it seems #gmail is "the main boss to kill", so to speak. Also, #Facebook would seem to be the least impactful/risky to close down permanently. See? Some interesting "Science" has emerged. #Google #Meta #DataSovereignty

    @d1@autistics.life My Gmail account exists, but I never use it. I check it periodically to see if there's some old service I registered a long time ago that still sends things there, but the last six months it's been completely empty - so I expect to close it soon.

    @d1@autistics.life Most people I know outside the US insists on WhatsApp and I feel locked in with LinkedIn especially being unemployed. 😭
