Anyone still posting on Twitter is actively helping the fascists achieve their goals. Musk is banning leftist accounts and hate speech is up 61%.
STOP TWEETING!
FIGHT THESE BASTARDS! FIGHT THE FASCISTS!

@godpod I rarely post there and will be deleting my account but I kind of want to go on there and post some radical left stuff just to get banned. 😅

@hellinhelen @godpod Delete your DMs and posts 1st, because you won't be able to after you're banned.

@notroot @godpod Good point! Thanks! I really don't have much on Twitter at all. But I'll make sure there's nothing I want to keep. 👍👍

Copied this from another post:
"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."

I'm not sure you can actually do that.
Deleting your account doesn't mean they delete your tweets.
You'd likely have to delete each one by hand (and even then, they may be marked as deleted, but not actually gone off of the Twitter servers...).

@joeinwynnewood @FridaKahlua @hellinhelen @godpod Yah... you can do what you can, but it was too late the second you git the "Tweet" button.

@notroot @joeinwynnewood @FridaKahlua @godpod I pretty much assume that anything I put online will always be there one way or another.

@joeinwynnewood @FridaKahlua @hellinhelen @notroot @godpod I used Tweet Deleter and deleted 25,000 tweets in one go. Do it!!!

I don't know which tool you used, but several are reviewed at https://mackiestdon.com/best-tweet-deleter-tool/.
And still, my best guess is that it will look like your tweets are deleted, no end user can see them (the interface won't show any tweet marked as deleted), but they are still out there on Twitter's disks.

@joeinwynnewood @biddy_sue @FridaKahlua @hellinhelen @godpod Ah... well, that's the thing is I tried it back in 2006 or so, hated it, and never looked back. I joined #mastodon because I've been waiting for this to happen for years. I hoped #diaspora was the solution to FB abuses back when. But SM needs network effect.

I'm just happy people are leaving corporate walled gardens for the #fediverse. Now I can participate, because I won't use Twitter. Period. And I'm not alone.

@joeinwynnewood @hellinhelen @notroot @godpod what if they won’t deactivate your account when you request it? Simce the day Elon bought the twot I’ve tried to deactivate and they keep giving me an error message.

@daisydog @joeinwynnewood @hellinhelen @godpod Probably for the same reason: to preserve your data (which you don't own, BTW, according to the TOS you agreed to) because you're trying to bail.

@daisydog @joeinwynnewood @hellinhelen @godpod Most likely, it was too late to secure your data long ago. Now, it's fallen into the hands of actual fascists.

I think the purpose at this point is to secure the login/account so no one can steal it, the data was always long gone.

The best I can suggest is to tweet your issue @TwitterSupport, though I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on a reply...

@joeinwynnewood @daisydog @hellinhelen @notroot @godpod I was hacked a few days ago, and still haven’t heard from Twitter Support. I was hoping to get my account back so I could delete it.

@sassybibrarian @hellinhelen @godpod I feel the sentiment, but that's like gamblers who don't realize the house always wins. Take solace in the cracks are already present in that house. The last truthful thing Elmo said was Twitter could declare bankruptcy. You can't change your revenue source from ads to paid subscriptions (especially when other social media is still free) like a light switch.

The writings on the wall... the FTC consent decree is coming, the class action lawsuits are coming, the EU regulations are coming, angry Tesla stockholders are coming... Remember he's not smart. He was forced to buy it because he didn't read the entire contract. He'll let it die before allowing it to drain his wealth.
