Brian Teeter: Introducing X Twitter Deleter — An Open-Source Tool to Take Back Control of Your Tweet History. “Maybe you’re cleaning up your online footprint.

“The beginning is always today.”
– Mary Shelley 📖

It's the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere: Time for new beginnings! 🌸
So I finally did it: I deactivated my account on the notorious toXic platform–and I must admit that it feels great. 🥳
So hello again & Happy Springtime, everyone! 👋 💐

Before 2022, I used to recommend Twitter to those who joined my personal branding workshops as an effective way to build your brand. I no longer believe this to be true. Effective today, I'll don't intend to remain active on X/Twitter. Here are my reasons for this: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/farewell-twitterx-joseph-liu-igjde/

Yesterday I deactivated a small account for Malta academic work. I discovered there is no actual delete link. I also discovered that Twtr makes no clear declaration to delete your data, only 'your account'. I have since found one form to make a request for GDPR 'right to be forgotten', from a 2 yo article. https://michae.lv/deleting-dms-from-twitter/
gdpr form: https://twitter.ethicspointvp.com/custom/twitter/forms/data/form_data.asp (may not work)
Twtr page on GDPR is very vague. https://gdpr.x.com/

Labour begin leaving or 'scaling down' X. Universities and academics should too.

Which scientific #library do you know (worldwide) which quitted their -Twitter-X activities?

Ideally:
When did they announce that step? On which platform are they now? If they announced to greatly reduce -Twitter-X activity this would also be interesting.

I am working on a list as a helper for that process.

Today 4 weeks ago we quit🐦. Thank you for the warm welcome here 🦣 and your interest.

We're curious to hear from you: How are we doing? What content do you expect a university library (like us) to share here? How can we (better) contribute to the community here?
