Oh lordy that "suicide machine" is tempting. I have been so tempted recently to wipe the existence of the entity known as "Korgmeister" from the web.

DO IT! DO IT! Go to Diaspora!

I'm so glad I never jumped on the Facebook or Twitter bandwagons so I don't have nearly so much to bother with! (I could still see myself using Facebook in professional/performer contexts, just never personal. I failed to mention this. I can see it being okay for that kind of networking. Youtube simply retains rights to what's uploaded, instead of taking over rights wholesale. That and the fact that they keep all data posted for data mining indefinitely is illegal in some countries, like say, Canada. Which should make Facebook's Terms of Service raise more eyebrows than it does.)

Actually, Facebook isn't too much of a bother for me. Since it was always in my real name, I've been careful never to say anything regrettable.

Likewise, Twitter was protected tweets right from the get go.

It's just all the stuff on various forums and stuff with the name "Korgmeister" on it that worries me.

You're human. Avoiding saying anything regrettable is therefore unavoidable.
