Barest of bones. Removing all connections, photos, posts, personal details. (I know the damage is already done. The aggregators never really delete anything.)
Why not just out right delete my profiles? I'm squatting. To ensure they're not used as socket puppets.
After a beloved coworker passed, their profile got highjacked. Ten years later, I'm still so angry about it that I could just spit.

sock puppets :)
Done much network programming lately?
It was literally just some idiot binging on drugs who thought it was really funny until i ran over to his place and kicked his door in. I had people ask me what the hell that was about for YEARS afterwards. How do you explain to all these people at parties or whatever that you just happen to know stupider people than they do?
Good idea. I've noticed more of those popping up. My wife has an Instagram impersonator that constantly spams some kind of essential oils crap or other beauty product snake oil.
At this point, I just don't add anything new. If they're going to host my content ad infinitum, I might as well use their storage space and bandwidth.
I guess it probably would be worth ditching LinkedIn. There's no good reason why a [worthwhile] prospective employer would require it.
Your past self, current self, and your future self are different people. Don't give in to sunk cost fallacy here.
Sort of. Data that is 5+ years old is pretty stale. How many things don't change over that period of time and how can you be sure that they haven't changed? The most valuable things are phone numbers and email addresses. We expect those to be maintained so we can re-establish contact with old friends.
Relocate yourself to another city/state/country in your profile. Daily make posts about things occurring in that new location. Make those posts in sync with local time. Of course using a VPN endpoint that correlates.
