I've been manually going through everything, including merging credentials going back two decades across 2-3 browsers finally to a single password manager, and... geez, there's literal months' worth of reviewing to do if you added up all the time if it was nonstop.

I'm just curious about how others' experiences have been, for those who shifted towards a more anti-megacorp stance later on.

I still have that old gmail account. I cannot log in anymore, but it still sometimes forwards mail to my current address. I'd love to nuke it.

Nothing else. Facebook is destroyed, reddit I don't care about, and I jumped ship before corporate cloud storage became normal.

But I remember times I was going through everything with a fine comb, mostly whenever I used my main address to register for something, to replace that with aliases or throwaway addresses.
