More than half an year ago I deleted my account in VK (russian facebook analog), and yesterday I got email that deletion is complete.

The part of life memories is gone with it: contacts, photos, messages, funny pics, but I don't smell regret, it always felt as a walled garden (as many other social nets), which tries to vendor lock you, devour your time, isolate from the rest of the web, but my world is far beyond those artificial limits.

VK is dead, Long live decentralized web!

@abcdw Hehe, I don't feel regret deleting an account there precisely because a part of my life is gone with it, at least somewhat.

Maybe someday I'll run some NLP on the messages dump. It's 395342 messages in total, of which 145542 were sent by me.

@sqrtminusone Unfortunately, I didn't back up my account content, partially because I planned it to be a temporary deletion as a few before.

Now, it's a task for future digital archeologists to find and analyize this content :)
