Technology/Content Purge, (sdf.org), 02/11/2019
------------------------------------------------------------
Every so often the compulsion to purge my digital life crops
up. Spring cleaning might be analagous. Something inside me
says, "it's time to clean house," and I get twitchy.
When I used FB, purging felt awesome. Every time I deleted
old content, it was wonderful, and the day I deleted the
last remaining vestiges was a day of rejoicing. I was free,
and the world was beautiful.
Gopher doesn't present the same problems as FB did. It's not
a place that I'm ashamed to be a part of. My content is not
perfect, nor does it always reflect who I am right now, but
I enjoy having it out there. I don't want to purge it, the
way I wanted to purge FB content.
