You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.
yes but the thing to do is to lock your account, not delete it - because after 30 days that username becomes available again, enabling trolls to move in and impersonate you.
...but simply locking the account may also not be sufficient, since there are rumors that Twitter will deactivate dormant accounts. So Mr. Takei may want to have a bot post to his Twit account periodically to keep it "active".
The main point is to leave Twitter as one's primary microblogging tool. How someone does that is up to them.
Good to know, thanks! Yeah I have a Zapier thing set up to post my blogposts and YouTube videos to Twitter, and then a crossposting tool to post them to Mastodon, so that will also prevent my account being considered dormant.

I've been using a crossposter, but I recently set it so it only posts one way, from mastodon to the bird site but not the other way around.
