If you have an 'old' Twitter account you don't want deleted for archive or impersonation reasons, then it's probably worth logging back in once and following Elon.
Bet you cash money the Twitter devs will write any delete queries in the next few months with an 'unless they follow Elon' clause.
Do YOU want to be the one explaining to the Narcissist-In-Chief why his follower count dropped?
(Also download the archive of your old tweets if there is good reason to preserve them for the future)
For people who are fully off Twitter and have no reason to be interested in archiving, identity preservation etc etc good for you. No need to reply. This wasn't for you.
It's just clear we're entering the first stage of am escalation cycle of deleting:
1) people who haven't logged in for X
2) people who haven't tweeted for X
3) tweets older than X for those without Twitter Blue
CMDR GreyAreaUK @garius I'm not fully off, but I *am* in 'read-only' mode. I'm not posting, liking, retweeting or otherwise interacting other than reading. Twitter is still, frustratingly, the best "what's happening in the world" source.
@GreyAreaUK @garius I have to admit I am increasingly using Twitter for the exact same reasons. Its a go to news /shitshow source rather than an interaction source.
@garius
Big question, when some major whale fail hits and there are no brains around & Melon prods the trainee to fix it, where the latter inadvertently starts maneuvers to encrypt first back-ups, then main db, and over writing the private key file in an advertent ctrl-v command (something like that)...
inserts itself where in these three options.
@garius
My main reason for actually sticking with Twitter is that several local operations I depend on seem to rely on Twitter to send out urgent announcements.
So I have to follow two distinct Ambulance corporates because the local NHS trust contracts with both of them.
And one of them uses a database that returns addresses in Norfolk for a placename within sight of The Humber.
@garius tweets older than x?
not that I ever look at tweets from 2008 but... how big is x?
@iphigenie well that'll be the question.
(I suspect when they hit that stage they'll say 2-5 years)
