Ok, so that was the end of my many years on Twitter. Here’s hoping for a better world.

@doc Just in case you have not seen this before:

The Drag State (@[email protected])

Please boost this. 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. #twittermigration

@breter_j not sure mine qualified as “popular”, but thanks for the heads up.

@doc it is genuinely wonderful here on Mastodon! I don’t miss Twitter at all.

@azyklus I suspect so too. Even though I will lose some contacts I had there, I hope I can build up a likeminded, similar community here. Fingers crossed!
