Not a true greentext but I hope I have captured the spirit of it. (First time I wrote smth like this, don’t be harsh on me. >w<)
Downvoted for Discord
I still use matrix for my group and other groups that use it. It’s not easy to quit discord with so many projects being there.
Edit: nvm, I forgot where I posted it and misunderstood what was your point.
I have a discord account that only exists to link in foss projects that are too stubborn to switch to matrix. Its directly bridged into Matrix and I dont actually have to interact with the enshitified platform unless I need to join a new Server (so not very often). My profile is completely blank and my name is just user
Write down your passwords on a piece of paper. That’s literally more secure than keeping your stuff on your computer. It still won’t stop the services from wanting to be double sure you’re you because your browser’s cookies got cleaned
Also, reset your steam password from a browser, never from the program itself. Fucking captcha never works properly on the fucking program.

If you’d pirated the game you would have spent all that time playing it instead.
why is life like this?
Because someone else getting access to your email account nowadays is worse than losing your wallet, phone and keyring, combined.
why is life like this?
Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated and secure, which it is.
The new issue is that I don’t remember the password for DICK. I know the password to like, my password manager, on a good day.
There are like 500 other passwords I have to sift through to sign into anything
I locked myself out of my main email account once.
I had set it up in the year 2000, when people didn’t have mobile phones, so they sent a letter to your home address before they activated it.
In the meantime, I had moved 11 times, updated my personal info on the site a few times, but never added a phone number or recovery mail address.
So when I called the hotline and they asked me for my address to confirm I’m me, that was a hard one to answer. But I actually got it right in the second try, which was good enough.
