And **THIS** is why I don’t talk politics on Twitter. I sure as shit ain’t letting the Kremlin clap my ass in year from now after Trump hands the country over to Russia.

There’s a group who have been collecting online info on federal workers for some time. They claim they’re going to release a list of names of workers who have been critical of Trump.
My fellow humans, nuke your twitter account, because you’re putting money in a Nazi’s pocket now even if Trump doesn’t win.

Or, if I may suggest, you be the employee you were hired for and just do your job.

I’ve been reading a lot lately about when people apply for work, the companies do a deep dive into their social media accounts. I’m so glad that I never joined Twitter and now that it’s owned by a facist, well, I feel vindicated when I say that Elon and Trump can go fuck themselves.

I completely cancleled my account as soon as I heard he was buying it. We already knew what he was about. Why have people stayed so long? Twitter is not necessary for life.

Unless you’re pro trump/maga, there is no need for twitter

That’s what I’ve been saying. Delete every DM. Delete every Post and if possible every comment you left there, before you delete your account indefinitely.
Who knows what Musk does with the Accounts that are flagged “is_deleted”. There is no way, he will just let people delete his valuable information.
But I’m sure the REST Services for each resource should still function in a real and eu-conform way, which is, the DELETE Method on these resources should really delete them and all references to them.
Delete all your footprints on twitter.

This threat of persecution is sufficient to never vote Republican.

There isn’t an option to delete, just suspend.

I doubt Musk is the only one we can’t trust. Probably a good idea to at least scrub old posts from any social media you own if you have the least concern about your employer’s ideological bent. But also know that stuff exists no matter what you do, so scrubbing/nuking is just making it slightly harder to gather.
And then vote and do everything you can to get everyone else to vote, against a candidate who made this kind of concern anything other than crazy talk.

I mean they’ve still got control of your data even if you delete?

When Adolf Musk did the interview of Cheeseburgler Trump I signed out of twitter. Two weeks later, when I realized that I didn’t miss it. I completely nuked my account and I’m not missing it at all. I do miss some of the people that I followed, which were mostly scientists. I hope more people will give up on twitter but probably not.

Everyone moving to threads would absolutely send Leon spiraling. If there was ever justice in the world, it would be that occurring

Um there are forensic tools that can dig even “nuked” account up from a cloud hosted environment. Using a simple one like thewaybackmaachine site for example can easily hunt down stuff from a nuked account.
In a cloud hosted environment just because an account has been nuked doesn’t mean that accounts meta data is gone for good! Cloud computing 101

Throw it into the fire

Yes, you should definitely delete your Twitter account.
But don’t think that the data is gone just because they say it is. I strongly doubt Twitter/X is actually compliant with GDPR legislation with regards to purging data. But they won’t get caught doing it until someone whistleblows, or they get caught through a data leak.

So they’re talking about tanking Twitter

Do you guys think deleting the DMs in your inbox removes them from the database, file server, or any backup server? If anything all it does is mark it to not display to the user.

I’m not a US citizen and I stopped using twitter when Musk took over. It baffles me that anyone still uses it. Just change the r to white people’s something esle
