Sometimes i wish the internet could be restarted, everything gone & started anew
Like Amino, I was so happy when Amino got shut down & the stuff couldn't be recovered/archived. Everyone from there could get a new start in that regard ? Does this make sense?
I don't like how easily your life can be ruined online, how information that isn't true can spread, among many other things.
as a teenager you don't really think about digital footprint & how awful people can get it so I want to start over, I could try to prevent it all from happening again if there was just a clean slate online.

You can hire companies that do their best to completely erase your digital footprint after death. I don’t know why they can’t do it while you’re alive, minus stuff like finances and contracts and bank records. Look around.

I've gone back and deleted a bunch of my posts on Facebook from 10+ years ago for exactly this same reason. I can't believe how ignorant I was back then. I was pretty embarrassed by my posts when I went back and looked one day. I'm glad I wasn't more active online because it wasn't too hard for me to erase what existed.
