My wife and I used to keep all kinds of note about how to handle various accounts and communications if we died. Over time, we realized that what matters is our friends and family, not our online presence. My only note that is left is "Cancel my credit card - everything will get sorted out and deleted once bills aren't paid."

I'm not trying to diminish the importance of our online lives while we live. It is a big part of our lives. But after we are gone... different story.

To me, my online presence within certain communities is as much me as I am me with my friends and family in person and I care deeply about them. It's disturbing and worrying when someone that you talk to regularly suddenly stops coming online, and I generally spend most of my online time with people I care about.

Accounts like my shitposting twitter account and HN accounts - who cares. But I don't want to be another lost soul last seen online years ago after suddenly disappearing. I have too many people like that who I still think about.
