I'm not exactly a public figure, but I freelanced for a while, so I tried to "get my name out there" to drum up business. So, I've accepted that my information is mostly available if you're looking for me.

There's another guy with the same first name and last name as me, and I feel a little bad for him that any time folks go looking for him they get me. For example: I had a short conversation with his mom on instagram whey she tried to add me as a friend (to be fair to her, my profile picture is kind of silhouetted). He presumably has a similar gmail address - I got a few emails from the military about the blended retirement system; I replied to explaining things and they apologized and straightened it out right away. I also get some occasional emails from his apartment complex and I've never been able to get them to recognize that I'm not their tenant.

Things that I post on hn/reddit/etc are generally meant for the world to see, so it's rare for me to delete a post.

I do run a pi-hole and ublock origin to cut down on various forms of tracking.
