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?

1. For archive just use the „take home your data“ feature. https://www.tweetarchivist.com/how-to-download-twitter-archive take a few days to get it. Especially in Rush exodus times.
2. for the tweet deleting @luca built a script you can run in the browser. See here: https://github.com/lucahammer/tweetXer
3. just leave the account in place without any context. Pointings the new place
That’s how I did it at least for myself and the company account. Worked well
