@lamp @wanderinglens it also makes the numbers more appealing cuz if #twitter does #purges all #InactiveAccounts after 30 days, they make better numbers, increasing activity for #AdFarming #Spambots and other value-removing assholes.

Interesting discussion on birdsite re: #Musk suggesting interest in de-activating #inactiveaccounts. This could have repurcussions on a number of governmental accounts not to mention important accounts of cultural figures that have died. If Musk takes any actions the #LibraryofCongress (which used to archive tweets in the early years) - should be notified to archive those accounts. There should also be a way like FB for friends/family to have deceased ppl's accounts backed up.
