I figure this would be a good place to ask. Im not paranoid but I say a ton of stupid stuff on the Internet. It’s fun having conversations with total strangers after work 😁. Anyway, I was thinking. Could I keep a level of anonymity if I just created new accounts every month for example? Is that a thing people use? Like every month you just abandon your bs account and get a completely new account on google. Google specifically since they are the assholes that keep selling our data.

    Even if you have a valid point, modern fingerprinting technics usually is done through your data and the connection dependencies of them (which accounts are activated from the sane computer and so on).

    Selfhosting remove some links between your data set like the files you store in drive, the people who appear in your photos, your contact list, to whom you email… Etc etc

    Suddenly all this data is vanishing from the big techs, so, in theory it would be possible to make that association process more difficult
