Evil Plan - Delete Emails then Poison Profile (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I've spent hours deleting gmail emails on an account I've held on to despite moving to other providers. Had it for decades now. When I'm done switching the last of my accounts to my new emails, I think I'm going to make fake profiles in cat forums and select all the notifications I can just to fill Googles servers with bullshit.

In the days of memory shortages, I'm definitely not just giving them that 15 GB of space for them to use it to store and sell other's info while they use the cash to buy legislation. It sure would be terrible if others wasted all their storage that way too. Fill it up with emails about crazy conspiracy shit, Jesus, and Grindr messages.

Oh I see, that's nice then! Only thing that might help, maybe switch from GMail to Proton as the inbox? Although they have a more limited space...

I would switch to Proton in a heartbeat if they supported IMAP. I use Thunderbird as my Email client.
