David GerardARCHIVE EVERYTHING. Twitter's inactive accounts policy is now 30 days without logging in - and they're already taking accounts down.
¡a!n@davidgerard on the other hand this will be brilliant for shitposting. Find a disused eg Pepsi ad account and reclaim it for lols
Buck@davidgerard lol - Jeez... Elon's not going to stop until it's just a circle of his sycophants left over there
Stephen Farrugia@davidgerard is this an attempt to coerce engagement or something else?
@fasterandworse and resell old usernames and spite against NPR and Elmo's brain is 110% worms by weight and
@davidgerard his spruce goose. Time to buy some pee jars
Carnildo@fasterandworse @davidgerard It's an attempt to coerce engagement from NPR. Everything else is just collateral damage.

@fasterandworse @davidgerard
I think the requirement is to log in, not to tweet. I think they're mostly just trying to reclaim long-unused handles.

birdpoofToo bad the Twitter account archive download service failed completely the last two times I tried it, late last year and again earlier this year. I rather doubt it's back up at this point.
Arvid E. Picciani@davidgerard he'll just reverse it within 30 days anyway.

Christoph Müller@davidgerard so in order to prevent somebody from impersonating me by re-using my account handle, I have to watch the propaganda spread there? That is sad.
6x6@davidgerard 30? Seriously? I’ve had holidays longer than that.
Stefanie Schulte@davidgerard At the same time, every time I log in, I get more useless notifications about tweets I'm not subscribed to. Great incentive to stay on Twitter! 🙄
katerberg@stefanieschulte it’s so annoying that you can’t set “notify me only if someone DMs me”
SHODAN 
@davidgerard Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this affect numbers on popular accounts? I feel many accounts might just be due in for a wake-up call as to how many active users follow them, thus potentially increasing the churn of users from the site.
Alan Bellingham@davidgerard Yeah. One of my mutuals was @[email protected], who was famously murdered in 2016
Joel VanderWerfThanks.
I just logged in for the first time in 4 months, but I'm not going to break my 6 month no-tweeting streak.
Crazy Pony@davidgerard could we just let Twitter die in silence, please?
I have never been there, prefer to spent my energy to make Mastodon more alive
@crazy_pony i have no idea who you are or why you feel this is a good place to reply-guy
f00f/eris/continuum/etc@davidgerard well! i was still deciding whether to keep or delete my account, i already deleted my tweets, but i guess elon has made the choice for me
Betterifyouneil...and if you don't post, Elmo will do it for ya as a courtesy, so that people can still imagine Twitter as active and relevant.
🤪😭
You get a blue check mark, you get a blue check mark.
Such a giver when it's for manipulation.
johnmastodon@davidgerard go for it! Just end your agony and let that account die. In the end you will feel much better, but if you really crave for your titter memories then this is not the place for you
Bearded_Pip@davidgerard this is what will end twitter. It is such a shame.
TobiWanKenobi@davidgerard I don't see any reason why to report on the #birdsite any longer. With this step, Elmo is degrading the site to some worthless chat channel since all the old tweet history etc. gets deleted. Once again, he's shooting his own leg. /shrug
Daniel Rigal 🇪🇺 🦣@davidgerard How easy would it be to make a script, using the web interface not the commercial API, which automatically logs in and retweets That Picture of Musk and Maxwell every 28 days?
Future Sprog30 days, you say?
Well there is no possible way they’re juicing their Monthly Users metrics.
snott@davidgerard should anyway. Photobucket (and imgur more recently) should have already taught us that.
Espinada@davidgerard
So only the obsessed need apply?

Magitism@davidgerard Nah. Let em burn it to the ground.
Ferles 
@davidgerard I am sure that only applies to lowly basic users, not ones who are paying twitter
@davidgerard what if you die tho
Old Man Mike@davidgerard I exported my data last year when I left but honestly it’s just a zip file of empty memories of a stolen land now overrun by thieves, rapists, liars and murderers.
Renée@davidgerard soon it will just be bots and bros left. They'll be good company for each other.
savaran@davidgerard well that’s an easy way to delete my account over there, awesome!

ThatKomputerKat 
@davidgerard Well, that's gonna make for a lot of link rot.

Procrastination for the win!

Robin Frost Has Moved@blind5sparrow I still use mine so no danger of that here.
@blind5sparrow However, I did archive some favorite liked tweets and dm's forever.
Aidan@davidgerard Elon has no brain at this point
Pixel Refresh@davidgerard I have not been on Twitter for some time now. I have no plans to connect to that service again. I am more comfortable interacting with the humans here.
@PixelRefresh what is it with mastodon reply guys
