I'm officially done with Twitter. I won't delete my account, hoping against hope the company can somehow shake MusQ, but I will not be participating.

@marklemley Deleting all tweets, set the account to private, no more posting. Done with it.

@Popehat
Deleting all tweets is a bit painful, btw - are you going with one of the paid services, or how are you going to do that?
I have a Python script that I can walk you through (but it's a bit... painful... the $15 for tweetdelete is likely worth it...)

@Popehat @marklemley Same. I had used Semiphemeral to wipe about 90% of my tweets after downloading an archive. Time to nuke the rest.

Given the infosec nightmare there even pre-QElon, I deleted all API connections to apps (which was a PITA after 13 years of experimenting with them), DMs, and my phone number.
