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?

@luca @afewbugs On the website it says free.

@nihalxkumar @afewbugs It's free for 2k Tweets. If you want to use file based deletion, you have to pay. https://scottandrew.com/blog/2024/10/former-twitter-user.html

Running it multiple times may be viable for 10k Tweets or less.

@luca From the same blog you mentioned:

> If you have more than 2-3K tweets, Redact will warn you to use the "delete from file" option, which is a paid feature. You don't have to do this if you're patient. I had over 8000 tweets and just deleted them in batches one year at a time.
