If you deactivate/delete your Tw*tter account, your @ handle will be publicly available in 30 days. The chances that you will be impersonated with no recourse is very high! Don’t do it - especially if you had a fairly popular account.

To wipe things, deactivate your account, then go to bird site /login and reactivate it. All of your followers will be gone. Now lock the account and let it rot. @semiphemeral is a great tool for wiping data, including DMs.

@filmcritic locked my bird app acct to friends and followers only, and always have screened new follows. I’m sticking around until the end if it happens.

Thank You for this.

I have taken another liberty ... screenshot and quoted your advice on my twitter feed.
I hope that is OK, though should have asked first.
Judith.

@filmcritic how long is it taking people to download their profile? I submitted my request to download my profile 72 hrs ago. So far, crickets…

@filmcritic you don't need to say tw*tter here, posts can only be searched by hashtags, never by regular words. Look: Twitter twitter twitter. See? Nobody cares!
