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?

My experience is that after downloading my data from Twitter, I haven't really used it for anything 🤔 .

@maryseph I think they want it because they've been on Twitter since pretty much the beginning, so a lot of photos are only stored there
