I have been online since 1993 and had been taught and continue to treat everything I post as if it will never be deleted. I don't see a point in deleting my accounts when the data has very likely been duplicated the instant I sent it and could still easily be reposted or used by whoever has access to the database it is stored on; let alone the multitude of unknown bots and agents that may have duplicated it independently.

So, no. It never even crosses my mind because I think it is rather pointless. Of course, it is also because I don't really talk about my personal life in detail enough, or use my real name online so my online identity can be linked to my real one and don't have any fear of something I said when I was 9 being used against me now that I am 41.

    The tech to link anonymous profiles to real identities end masse might not be ubiquitous, but I saw an article recently that says it exists using AIs. However, most AI is ridiculous so I'm not sure.

    That’s why you gotta post using different posting styles, punctuation, slang, hobbies, and post times on different web sites with different accounts for the past 28 years (I am mentally ill)

    The tech to link pseudoanonymous profiles exists. They are not linking your one off account to your real data on their own. They are linking alt accounts to people's main account that is often using their real name.

    Unless they are able to be fed shit like all the school work I did growing up or all my personal notes that were physically written down, they won't have enough information on my real identity to link my online one.
