Once every blue moon I check my old Gmail account. My email provider is privacy-focused and based in Europe, but I am not deleting my old Google account in case of impersonation.
Anyhow, this morning I found in my inbox:
- a panicky sounding email from Discord that my account is slated for deletion (YAY)
- an email from Mailchimp saying they are closing down my inactive account (THANKS)
- a fake recruitment email from Meta - which genuinely made me laugh 😂Viva FOSS

I haven't done this recently, but many years ago on a google account I no longer used I requested the full dataset from them. And I was astounded that it amounted multiple gigabytes. 😬
In the past I got several work-related google accounts, which sucks too because you get locked out of all your history and opportunity to do a takeout if you forgot to make one timely.

@_elena "Your track record for navigating complex global narratives and driving enterprise value" I'll never get used to this. Linkedinese gives me skin rash.
