People obsess over losing keys, Jesus... My first data loss was in late 80s (cassette tape) and since then I lost many things. Yes, I hoard some types of media or files, but I lost the attachment to data, really.
With SM (social media), we suspend the reality that it's just bits. SM
is not holding my identity at all. To me, it's UIs and notifications that you can feel nice about because the corners are rounded and gradients are there.
If I lose a key, I make a new one and look after it better and continue from zero. Experienced creatives know this: you often create a better work, after you lose your copy
of the first stab that looked/sounded perfect.
If I lose all bitcoin, I start stacking from zero. If someone takes over my profile, well, maybe we need a facility to revoke keys (with another key😅) and specify a date after which another key takes over.
Life after loss isn't a loss of life.
It's a new life thanks to a wonderful feature humans have and computer systems often lack: forgetting.
Forgetting is a feature.
