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.

Well you do you, but 15gb of long term storage is a few pennies to google. Like literally, they throw out terabytes of storage every day. If you really want to do damage, email gibberish using some automation. But 15 gb of normal emails won’t do anything.

I like this idea, let’s say some gigantic circle of addresses that keeps forwarding emails automatically with random data?

Let's make an evangelical group who hates abortions and loves Trump. We can fill gigabytes of space up with it all and train their AIs so they get the idea that there's been enough propaganda floating around and maybe they'll leave us alone.

We could make some emails of gamers who hate women. Evangelicals that hate abortions and love to watch their kids play baseball. Warmonger's who love Israel and think Muslims need to be wiped out from the middle East. Gun nuts who hate immigrants and idolize ICE. And if course all the men will need to have Grindr accounts to make it believable.

Just poison the shit out of all the accounts. And then make some random ones with leopards and furries as kind of a signature because why not.
