@jw You can just #LockAndLeave it sitting with zero followers. All requests to follow will just be ignored. But no mater how you do it it’s very smart not to just deactivate, since in 30 days your account could be spoofed & all old @ replies will direct to the fake. 👍
@JessicaGimeno The only reason I keep going back is to drag people here 😜👍 Dont delete your account though and if you did re activate it and read the replies at #LockAndLeave for why & how. I wouldn’t trust Elmo as far as I can throw him.
To be fair to Felon Skum (something I never thought I’d say) all of the links to Mastodon are unsafe (potentially dangerous or harmful) …….to his finances. Click the #link, #lockandleave#DontLookBack
@jaysim Absolutely leave but do not deactivate your account. If you do, in 30 days your account can be spoofed. All old @ replies will now direct to the fake account. #LockAndLeave ⬅️ There are tips on this hash for how to do it best. #Twitter#TwitterMigration#Mastodon
@adman Good move. I was tempted to deactivate my account but I don't want to risk being spoofed. I will delete my tweets and leave it locked and dormant. #LockAndLeave
@JaneGray@adman Make sure you don’t just deactivate. In 30 days your account can be spoofed. All @ replies ever directed at you would then direct to the fake you even if though your tweets would be gone. #LockAndLeave There is more info in that thread from people that responded. Tips for leaving no usable trace but still leaving your name untouchable. 😊
