      Would you even care if you’re dead anyway? Maybe some far descendant can stumble across my posts and put them in his family history folder.

        I don’t like the idea of all my conversations online being right there word for word for my family to see without my ability to give any context .

          Theoretically though, if youre already dead, would it even matter? To me, what youre describing would be the same as if, say, your grandkids or whatever descendants ended up finding a photoalbum filled with pics of you and letters you wrote to friends and family and such. There would be no outside context from you but it could still be a nice heirloom for your grandkids/great grandkids to remember you by and learn a bit about what type of person you were.

            For the entirety of human existence, people have not been privy to word for word conversations for large swaths of all their friends and family. I’m not sure I’m ready to just accept that new reality.

        Are they doing that with everyone removing their content lately? So much for having control of your user account and persona.
