Leaving Twitter/X for good...
a year ago
General
*Opens his mouth* To all Pikachu and other types of prey, please get into my mouth before reading any of my journals. ^^
As some of you may have noticed, I have begun deleting posts, reposts, and replies on both of my Twitter accounts. I'm doing this because I plan to leave Twitter for good and mainly post on Bluesky. The reason is because the new terms and services will allow third party AIs to access my posts and photos starting November 15th. And I plan to delete everything before that happens, and I'm gonna do them manually to make sure everything is deleted. So it's gonna take me days, maybe weeks to delete everything off of my Twitter. Once everything is gone, I'll be deleting my Twitter accounts permanently.
Now you may be wondering, why not just do it all at once by deleting your accounts? Well, I could do that, but it takes 30 days for an account to be permanently deleted, and if I wait that long it might already be too late. Even if I deactivated my account, Elon Musk could still allow them to bypass security and access my posts. No, I'm not taking any chances. I'm doing this manually so that no one, not even Elon Musk can access them.
Now, for those of you who haven't followed me on BlueSky yet. I'll provide the links to both my main and my alternate.

Have a good rest of your day. And I'll update you guys on when my Twitter accounts are no more.

I actually strongly suggest NOT to outright delete your Twitter account. This is because when you do, your account name is up for grabs and in a worst case scenario, someone with bad intentions can re-register that name and pretend to be you. And it's possible, but a real pain in the ass to get that imposter removed. There's a script you can use to delete all your tweets and just leave a blank page if you want.

OP
Has that happened to anyone before? Regardless, I don't think I can leave my Twitter account inactive for too long anyway. I heard Elon Musk plans to delete accounts that has been inactive for too long to free up handles. Basically, if I don't delete my account after leaving it, he will.
