Those of you letting go of the (permanently or not), you should download your Twitter archive before the new (clearly ill) boss screws it all up.

You'll find instructions at help.twitter.com/en/managing-y

@jscaux i totally forgot about this
probably because under „archive“ in social stuff i always understood just the amount of data a company collected from you and not your actual content xD

@jscaux Thanks, however that brings up an interesting point. I can’t think of anything that I want to archive from there. I’d be more interested in a bot that would delete all of my non-recent activity. 🤔

@theolodian that would indeed also be a useful feature, and one can delete one's account at the .

For a clean "total obliteration" operation, to my knowledge, the only way to do this (if you're based in Europe) is to invoke the and force the service to delete your entire personal data. Compliance is patchy, but the law is on your side.

@jscaux Just done it. Took less than 12 hours to prepare (warns it might be over 24) but I bet that time will go up. Impressive browsing interface built into the archive - just unpack and click on the html page in the top folder. I've been enjoying remembering better days. #twitter #archive
