My Twitter account is currently locked and I don't look at it, but I'm hard deleting it this month. If you have a Twitter account you don't read, I also recommend full deletion before Nov. 15. Here's why.

Twitter has their TOS now in an unusual state https://x.com/en/tos with two copies of the TOS printed one after the other, with a notice the new TOS goes active November 15.

The major difference I see is starting Nov 15 they give themselves explicit rights to train AI models on your posts.

@mcc I used an automated app to scramble all my old posts and likes and such before Musk completed his purchase of twitter. Unfortunately I don't think those will work anymore thanks to the API access stuff. Best of luck leaving twitter for good, that place sucks.

@GabeMoralesVR @mcc You can delete all Tweets by feeding a data export to this script https://github.com/lucahammer/tweetXer (I wrote it because I was annoyed.)

Hey thanks for this! I was wondering if there was a way to mass-delete tweets.

The only reason I haven’t deleted my Twitter account is so that some rando Nazi doesn’t co-opt my artist name. It’s set to private, but if privacy is losing a lot of its protections it’s time to nuke all my tweets, too.
