   @djwudi @ToneMilazzo If I delete the acct and someone steals the username, they won't get my followers tho. They'll just get the name, with zero followers.

     I decided on permanent lockdown instead of deletion for one simple reason: I don’t want to free up the storage space for them.

     @inthehands @charliejane @djwudi @ToneMilazzo This is unreasonably petty.
     Leaving it on to punish them is the equivalent of leaving on the water in the bathroom when you move out of an apartment you didn't like. What it really does is prevent other people on the same power grid from using that electricity.

     Yes, it is petty. But not just punishment; I’m of a mind that it’s best for society if Twitter collapses under tech/infra/internal pressures ASAP. Not deleting data is a minor drop in the sabotage bucket, but…just not interested in helping them stay afloat.

     That said, Michael’s almost certainly correct.

     I’m not convinced Twitter actually deleted any of my data when I asked them to. At best it’s in a database with deleted = 1 flagged. I attempted to unlike every post I ever liked on Twitter before deleting. But I was limited to unliking the most recent X posts I had ever liked. Which means after I removed the like, Twitter still had a record that I had at some time liked that post.
