A verified account called me a “groomer,” a slur for gay men, suggesting we’re pedophiles. I reported him. And Twitter just told me that calling gays pedophiles isn’t hate speech. What a cesspool this place has become under Elon Musk.
@aravosis
The cesspool grows ever larger.
To leave Twitter safely (copied from someone else, don't remember who):
If you deactivate/delete your Tw*tter account, your @ handle will be publicly available in 30 days.
To prevent impersonation with no recourse:
1. Deactivate your account.
2. Go to the bird site /login and reactivate it.
All of your followers will be gone.
3. Then lock the account and let it rot.
Also, @semiphemeral is a great tool for wiping data, including DMs.
