I downloaded my twitter archive and deleted my account today (opened Oct 2007). I was using it less than 1x/week to follow a few people who haven't moved elsewhere, and there was a sense of loss to push that Deactivate button.

I did have the notion that there was a bottom to how far EM could go, but it seems not.

Is this what it's like to be on a sinking ship, thinking that the pumps will catch up and empty the bilge enough to right the vessel?

#twitter #deactivate

I originally only had a new #Twitter to keep up with things like sports, but with amazing tools like https://bird.makeup and https://sportsbots.xyz I'm confident that I can now #deactivate completely once again!

Haven’t used the #birdshit app in months. But I did hit the #Deactivate button today.

Damn. That felt really good.

🖕🏼😃🖕🏼 you, #Elon.

@claasgefroi 🤯 Ein guter Tag um meinen früh wieder brach liegenden #Twitter-Account nun endgültig zu löschen. 😠
(Wechselt zur Twitter-App -> Settings -> Your Account -> Deacivate your Account -> #Deactivate) 🙂
(Start -> Einstellungen -> Apps -> Installierte -Apps -> Twitter -> #Deinstallieren) 😄
...Fertig; der Mann ist ja nicht mehr auszuhalten! #Musk

Originally my plan was to use both mastodon and twitter as things played out. But as the news has continued I have decided to #deactivate my #twitter.

Just #deactivate #deactivatetwitter and couldn’t feel more free.

@juddlegum PLEASE consider encouraging your colleagues to #deactivate or act collectively in some manner while you still have the power to wield, if you so choose.

@taylorlorenz I don’t understand why any of your colleagues continue using their accounts. #deactivate

@juddlegum His plan only works if you & your colleagues maintain active accounts. #deactivate

Things you can share on #Elon’s #Twitter: Covid misinfo.

Things you can’t: The location of his jet.

Mass exodus is the only way to rain pain down on his profitability. #deactivate if you haven’t.

Just deactivated my twitter. I'd managed to keep my mobile number off the account, and I suspect that would be hard to replicate with a new one.

I understand not conceding the battlefield etc, but there has to be a limit. He's gone full Q-Anon and is personally managing the moderation and controlling the private data on that basis.

I think it's time to walk away.

Anyone have a clue about how to #deactivate a #twitter account created with #AppleID as a login? There’s no password be design, so nothing to enter as verification.

@jimstewartson woke up. Saw this stochastic terrorist tweet (despite my blocking Musk over five years ago,) and deactivated my account. F Twitter. F Nazis. F Musk. #deactivate

Biggest problems for me about #Mastodon? It doesn't have a #deactivate option (#deleting an account is permanent and you can't re-use the username on the server); nor is there Mastodon equivalent of #TweetDelete*.

Which means that I can't do on here what I would have done on Twitter on a night like this.

(* Yes, I know it's built-in, but it only allows for deleting posts at least a week old - you can't delete all posts - and it comes with a stern admonition about how resource-intensive it is.)

@DemocracyMatters @antimagaglitterbomb @GiggleBoss Just dont deactivate on the #birdsite #LockAndLeave if you just #deactivate your account name & all the @ replies ever directed at it will go to who ever spoofs your account. If you have deactivated go back. Reactivate leave one last message with your new #Mastodon account info & secure so no new follows can occur & then just park it. It doesn’t help #Elmo if you do it this way. #Twitter

@micahflee yup. I'm not even really left, and my #account was #locked today (I went to #deactivate it). It's the one associated with my #workEmail promoting the activities of the #philanthropy I work for.
We do ask our partners to make #DEI commitments. I hadn't really used it much, cuz #DeadParrotSketch is #NotMyFandom

@godpod
Blessed are those that #LockAndLeave or #Deactivate for they shall inherit practice time for their musical instruments.
