  • It’s not good to ever keep random accounts abandoned. It’s just good security and often privacy hygiene that most people don’t practice. I already have over 100 accounts total across the internet, and am planning to skim that number down drastically. It’s especially important security & privacy hygiene, because if you leave dozens of accounts abandoned and the services experience a data breach, the fact that your data is now out there is partially your own fault, and since we’re on the english-speaking side of the internet, I doubt we’re going to hear about a data breach for some random Japanese site.









  • True. But I’ve seen apps be forked by it’s own developers before. One example is Prism Launcher, which was forked from PolyMC because one of the original devs “went rogue” and revoked access from all the other devs because their political views didn’t align with his political views. So he abused the power he had and just kicked them out. So the devs who were kicked out forked the program and continued it as Prism Launcher. That’s how I understand the situation anyway. It’s funny, because PolyMC which Prism Launcher is forked from is itself a fork of MultiMC.

    So it’s a valid question.
