This is actually some big news: a lot of folks originally joined the Tweeter because of #Diggnation and #TWiT hyping up Twitter in its earliest days. I know I joined because of them (esp. Leo talking about it all the time)
Well Kevin Rose, founder of #Digg, said if he got 1,000 likes to a post he made on Threads, he'd delete his Tweeter account.
He got them, and he did.
Makes me think - if I get 200 likes here in the #fediverse on this post, pointing out Kevin's post, I'll delete CoffeeGeek's Tweeter account too. (I promise, this isn't likebait lol!)
EDIT. OMG. Me and my big mouth! 
. Well, you all got there, and I will follow through, once I download my archive.
Bejeebus. Me and my big mouth! 
Well, you have spoken, and I'm going to do it, today. I just need to download the Tweeter archive, and then wipe the account. I do want to do one lil' ole message to Elon first on the account.
In all honestly, our Twitter account, with 28K followers organically grown over 14 years, has no value any longer, thanks to Elon. The only thing that's a challenge is
a) I don't want some squatter to take over the account name
b) I won't be able to DM a bunch of specialty coffee holdouts that are still on the Tweeter.
@coffeegeek Pretty sure there's a way to leave the account active, but make it private. This way it won't show up in public searches, but also cannot be claimed by squatters. This is what I did to "cancel" my personal account after Elon took over.
𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚 @mportuesi @coffeegeek Correct! 
I did the same. I visit once or twice a month, mostly to remind myself what horrible things The Chief Twit is tweeting.
I don’t post. Don’t 
️. Don’t 
. Nothing.
I retain the ability to DM old cyberfriends, but haven’t in over a year.
Some customer service options are still only available on the

I did download my archive. Not sure how useful that was, but it did work and was possible.
