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.
You need to start reducing your fingerprint on internet.
The only reliable way to do so is selfhosting your stuff.
There are a few communities here in lemmy, so check on them
I selfhosted my photos! That makes me so very happy honestly.
Then follow that path, once you are comfortable with the approach you can start hosting more and more services,to the point that you can selfhost your own messenger services or ms teams services.
Once you are in that situation, you can think in accounts rotation and/or burner identities to address the services you can not pull from the big techs
Aren’t you reducing your fingerprint to that specific IP address?
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
