Wondering what your take on this is.

    If they had a significant role in my life I’ll leave them and add a yearly calendar event so that hopefully they don’t die the second time, at least while I’m alive.

        So you cost the author money and you pay them nothing?

        If you wear a mask you can also break into their house and steal the batteries of their remote…

          No. Reddit thinks my patched version is a completely separate app. Reddit still allows third party apps to use their API for free as long as the usage is low. The limit is way too low for all the big third party apps but more than enough for just one person. Follow the guide to “create” your own app.

      I only just got around to deleting Alien Blue a few weeks ago. I don’t think that app has worked in like 5 years lol. RIP Apollo

      I still have Infinity installed. Also kept the YouTube app installed on my 3DS as well as Nintendo Letterbox (swapnote)

      I’m still using reddit sync, fully working with revanced. Even if it stops, I’d be hard pressed to delete it.

    I let it stay.

    It is weird when someone that uses the number joins signal though… I want to reach out to them because I miss my brother but its a good reminder that life marches on with or without you. And we should let the ones who have left, go.

    My Xbox friend list has a slowly growing number of gamer tags that will never be online again

    Climate change will be reversed and billionaires will be abolished before I delete my grandparents contacts from my phone. Every time I pass my grandpa’s, I hear Hello young man, it’s your grandfather. like he said every time we talked on the phone regardless of who called who.

    I can understand those who don’t feel the same way.

    Keep it if you want, don’t keep it if you don’t.

    But never forget the people.

      Ahhh I’m one of the dead xBox and PSN friends for many lovely people.

      I have everything from the Atari 2699 to the PS3/Wii/360… the ps4 and xBone had terrible performance and loading times so I never got them. Now I just have a bunch of high end computers and no desire to get consoles again. But I did have some sweet friends who might still see my name as “last logged in 12 years ago” or something like that.

    I add the ⚱️emoji to their name.

    Makes them easy to search for and stop to have a moment of reflection on their effect on my life.

      I got confused and then realised it was a cremation urn. Funny how some cultures are different, as in mine Cremation is uncommon and burial is common

    When the idea that we live on in the memories of the people who liked us, means sth to you, I would keep them. Every time you stumble over their entry this memory gets reactivated. I think that is a nice thing.

    My grandmother died 40 years ago and she told me, when I was very little, to fold the seems of the coffee filter before you put it in. Everytime I make coffee I think about her because of that.

    Absolutely I delete them. Can’t have that kind of evidence lying around, loose ends sink careers.

    I leave them in if it’s someone i care about. I lost a school kid last year. Took his files out of my drawer today.

    I used to have a ‘extra set of grandparents’ when I was younger. An elderly couple that lived downstairs who often babysat me and spoiled me like I was their own grandchild.

    I knew their phone number by heart, this was pre smart phone(now I think of it, I can’t recall it anymore,a shame).

    They passed during my teenage years. When I went to university I had a job working call centre for a telecom discounter.

    During a slow day I looked up their number, and they apparently had been clients. So I respectfully removed them from the database.

    I’ve never deleted any saved contacts on my phone/s over the years so there’s likely more than a couple of people there who are no longer living.

    I tell you what freaked me out - I was tidying up my contacts and my late sister’s photo had changed to that of a nice-looking youngish man. She died of brain cancer in Jan 2020. I’d left her contact there out of sentiment, but of course her number has been recycled. Ooof.

    I saved them, adding death anniversary so I could remember them. Bit morbid but they meant a lot to me.

    Lost a very close friend 3 weeks ago way before his time and used to see him online on steam every time I was on. It hurts seeing his name and knowing he’ll never be back. In terms of phone contacts they kind of get filtered out naturally when I move devices .

    I don’t keep my contacts list clean. Deceased people are to be found in my contact list; not as any sort of memorials, but because it didn’t even occur to me to remove them. A couple bits of data storage is free. Going in and deleting them takes effort.
