So for some weird reason I realized my Twitter account wasn't fully nuked.

And of course this is after Elongated Muskrats made the twitter API a pay to play service.

So in honor of his shit choices I've decided to properly re-nuke my Twitter account and leave a single tweet pinned.

Although - I have no clue why twitter claimed I had 30 tweets left once fully nuked.

I guess there are 30 "shadow deleted" tweets or something? They exist but also aren't visible via UI? I'm curious if they're visible via the API tho. 🤔

Obviously now that I added my pinned tweet there is in fact a single real tweet making it 31.

Ohhh - so I had a theory and checked again just now.

There was a "new" retweet from 2021 that showed up, after un-retweeting that it's down to 30.

So I'll give it a few weeks and bet the other 29 tweets will show up to be deleted.
