Can't erase online presence

I have a social media account that I haven't used in years which follows/is followed by some people I went to school with. This account links to a website that I abandoned. I am concerned that people will be able to link my current website to this account and determine my identity. I can't delete the social media account because I lost the password and the email address that I used to sign up for it. It's driving me insane. I've been trying to brute force the password with no success. What do I do? Am I being unnecessarily paranoid that people will find it?

>>75491 You are leaving out some details. How would people link your current website to your account? What does this have to do with your old abandoned website? Ultimately the solution is always going to be to make sure the new thing you make doesn't have connections to your old stuff.

>>75491 >What do I do? Am I being unnecessarily paranoid that people will find it? Depends. Most people wouldn't try anything strange with that information and wouldn't know anything about it. On the other hand, then you have people like >>75494 who secretly try to collect info to attack you OP... Be alert

it is so easy to just leave behind old info and never have it traced back to your new info. ditch old usernames and never mention them. fpbp lol

well you could try the old 'I live in California/Europe and demand that you delete all info you have about me' trick and see how that goes to kill the socmed. Ive tracked a few people down over things like this so I think its fair to worry if you care. Put yourself in the shoes of the hunter, dig around and see if you can find the connections. If yes then OK its possible, if no then most people are probably not better at this than you so idk. We live in a world where given a few photos out your window can reveal your precise address, hell even photos of the inside of your apartment, maybe paranoia is just. If you really care, just purge everything, start a new identity fast as possible and actually separate it. It will be easier to do that now than if you wait. You're probably being crazy tho and this really dont matter dawg. Also consider putting up a more obvious / easy to follow but totally fake trail if u wunt 2.

i hate the picture because it tells me the truth. i will not overthink my life

>>75491 Just start over. Fly to Mexico and walk into Texas butt naked. Give them your new name and never create any social media accounts.

>>75505 >'I live in California/Europe and demand that you delete all info you have about me' Elaborate, how does that work?

>>75516 Special online privacy laws that red flag feds to open investigations on the people who invoke them. There's surely a thoughtcrime going on when people request privacy. They will find it.

>>75491 I've had similar issues, I think I have a few scant emails and social media accounts that are laying around vacant which I can no longer delete. The only idea I had for deleting them aside bruteforce, which will likely prove fruitless, would be reporting an account. Perhaps you could solicit people online to do it somehow, or make an account in order to do file a report, then delete that account at a later date. I don't think it's a very big issue, the accounts are not being used so they won't accumulate any more data on you, unless you do something that would correlate a personal account with something you wish to keep anonymous. Regardless of whether or not you have an account these entities are collecting data on you anyway. So long as you stay vigilant and think of everything you put out on the internet, particularly anything potentially risky, you'll almost certainly not correlate activities. It might take some effort though, I don't know because I'm so used to it.

>>75491 Should've been born smart

>>75660 You have to be pretty heckin' smart to predict something as miniscule as linking a website to your socmed profile would come and haunt you later on in life.

>>75494 I second this. Any time you read some fuarrrkshit like in the OP you just know they're leaving out tons of details in which they fuarrrked up somehow. How do you even lose a password? How fuarrrking stupid can you be? That's what makes me suspicious, seems like there's more to the story, might not even be your account at all. I have never lost a password. Also the fact that you conveniently lost the email address it was tied to as well. I hate people like you

>>75491 >literally this image soykaf

>>75680 I take that in your childhood in didn't spend time on the internet enough to learn how to navigate and interact with websites/signup forms but not smart enough to keep write down login infos and keep personal info out of the internet, right? I certainly was. unfortunately i'm afraid this is going to be an increasingly more frequent occurence as time passes. anyway. FPBP. just keep your old soykaf to yourself this time around, OP.

>>75491 >I can't delete the social media account because I lost the password and the email address that I used to sign up for it. If you're going to migrate to a new e-mail account, the obvious thing to do is figure out what accounts you want to migrate to the new address. Social media is obviously one of those things. So is like kicking dead whales down the beach for you that you didn't think ahead, and now you pay the consequences.
