Something you should know…
Twitter's very existence depends on mDAU. This data—licensed to business, governments and anyone interested in purchasing it—is counting on people using Twitter daily.
There is no “stay and fight.” This is a fallacy. Staying literally lines the pockets of the (now) alt-right twitter.
The more interactions and likes and account has, the more personal information you inadvertently generate.
Not a big account? The app tracks you even when closed. You’re still contributing to its existence.

What happens if I delete the app but don’t deactivate my account?

@GlennaMaev if you never go back you won’t contribute but your info, location and password are obtainable by nefarious choices

Ok, thanks! I certainly don't plan on going back, but I also want to think over how to handle my data for a bit before wiping it clean.

You can download your archive.
Then if you deactivate and reactivate your account, everything is gone. When you leave that idle, it prevents the handle from getting snagged by an impersonator while denying Twitter all of you precious data.
