MODERATORS
In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can't anymore.
i really don't want old friends or distant family finding me though
Agreed. If I am not in contact with you there is a reason.
Or more than one reason.
"And what about very old friends?"
I would fully like to erase my online presence. I dont want people seeking me out.
I have a website that shows up when someone searches my name on the internet and an email there. This way people are able to contact me and I don't have to use any spyware like Facebook.
But whether that works for you depends on your threat model, I guess.
Is it just a bare bones websites that has only your email? Do you host it?
No, it's more work-oriented/portfolio type of site and it's hosted on Cloudflare Pages under my domain.
But in this case, bare bones website would be sufficient
