A community group I'm involved with is finally ready to leave Twitter after the latest fuckery. They want to:

1 - export all data (photos etc)
2 - delete all tweets
3 - leave a placeholder so no one can squat the name with a link to their website and new Bluesky account (I know, I've tried to lure them over here, believe me)

Does anyone have a link to a simple guide for the not particularly tech savvy to doing all of the above please?

@afewbugs I used Cyd which created a local archive (on my laptop) of all of my tweets and deleted them.

I paid for it, as I wanted to be able to filter which tweets I deleted and do it in stages, but there's a free version which creates an archive and deletes all of the tweets.

It wasn't perfect and took DAYS but it pretty much did what I needed so it's probably worth a look. I have no experience of alternatives, sorry!

I updated my twitter profile to say I was now on Mastodon.

@aroundthehills thank you!
