I just deleted my Threads and Instagram accounts.

I haven't decided what to do about Facebook since so many people I know are there and nowhere else, and either can't move elsewhere or don't want to move elsewhere.

Reading up on Google's new policy on deleting inactive accounts:

https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/updating-our-inactive-account-policies/

You are active if:

You log in

Reading or sending an email

Using Google Drive

Watching a YouTube video

Downloading an app on the Google Play Store

Using Google Search

Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service

Have a subscription (so paying Google)

So, in most cases if your account is inactive it really is inactive

Updating our inactive account policies

Starting later this year, we are updating our inactivity policy for Google Accounts to 2 years across our products.

Not going to lie. Felt sad deleting my twitter account today.
But that is that.
And this is not that. This is something else.
