By this afternoon, almost all of my tweets will be deleted. (I opted against trying to bring them here, just felt cleaner to light a match and burn the whole thing down.)
I'm keeping the account open just to preserve the handle, but I've unfollowed everyone and will lock it when it's done.

I don’t want to completely leave the hellsite, as I want to keep one eye on ‘how the other half live’ 😬
Felt good to hit "Delete account". Because fuck Elon Musk.
But at the same time, I feel like leaving them under EM's ownership is also a mistake
But *now* that's not happening, instead we're going to have a gov sponsored propaganda machine
So I'm prepping to purge most and go idle
BUT
... all the strongly dissenting voices moving over here plays into his hands ... and would be an own-goal for the values those folk moving espouse.
I don't have a better solution - but to stand and fight.

Leaving the account open/locked will keep his numbers propped up.
Good on you.
Morning.
That's a lot of trouble, to be sure.
I left Twitter, at least in terms of actively posting but, unfortunately, it's about the only means of seeing what nonsense is being put out by my elected officials.
Plus, given so many gov't officials post there EXCLUSIVELY (at least for now), it's hard to know what nonsense they're up to otherwise.
But deleting tweets?
Looks like Tweeteraser will do it for $7 so that works for me. :)
I want no connection to that cess poop
But I have gone cold turkey.
I’ll be ok…right?
I realized keeping them there was only adding material to Elon’s library and further encouraging other people to stay.
Burn the boats, man.
By deleting all your texts and "locking" it, no one else can do that.
Well, until Shithead Musk directs his technical staff to free up all those locked accounts.
Too on the nose?

Not one!
$7 for a month where i could nuke the whole thing. Just had to cancel afterwards
With my volume it just seemed impossible and depressing to wade through.
I would ask you to reconsider but obviously, it's your decision.
Twitter died on 27 October 2022 when Elmo took it over
However, maybe https://redact.dev could work on a method to migrate? @dancantstream.bsky.social
I'm def going to lock down my account, but not sure what unfollowing everyone serves.
Twitter is well and truly murdered
I'm a little concerned about the Corpos and Politicians that will come here and flood this place with crap like Twitter.
I'm hoping this community can resist.

That is a big step.
Change is the only constant.
Oh well. At least we'll go to the gulag for trying to help save democracy.
So sad what's happened to America
(Yes, there are likely automated ways I could use but I’m trying to be intentional and find the accounts I value here as I go).
No big fan of echo chambers, and I do like a good discussion, however the amount of purebred white supremacists and misogynists on Elons shouting machine made me look for better alternatives. Cheers.
