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.

@coffeegeek Done!

@ukuku oh man, I'm kinda nervous now. I still DM a few folks on the Tweeter because it's one of the few ways I have to be in contact with them. Will have to send them a blast DM to carry on the convos on other platforms if this happens now!
-
@coffeegeek done! Start archiving
-
@coffeegeek @ukuku don't worry! You won't miss it. You'll still keep in touch with the folks that matter!

@chris hahah! I archived the last day I posted on the Tweeterville.
Though I wonder if the archive will still work with the stupid change to porn dot com... er, x dot com.

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.

Yup. I did it. Now in the "deactivation phase'. Need to wait 30 days to permanently delete the account.

@coffeegeek Congrats!
