the site formerly known as Twitter. +tags: + - twitter +--- + +I had a complicated relationship with Twitter (now X). + +I wasted a lot of time there, got into some embarrassing arguments, and posted tweets I now regret. +But it's also where I met friends and partners, started a career in cultural heritage, and found a lot of knowledge and joy. +Maybe one day I'll write a longer article about exactly what Twitter meant to me. + +But I haven't been active on Twitter for several years, and I finally decided to remove all my old tweets. +I paid $7.99 to [TweetDeleter.com](https://tweetdeleter.com/), and a week later all of my tweets are gone. +I'll post one final tweet linking to this article and telling my followers where else to find me on the web, but after that I'm done with Twitter. + +## Why? + +I felt like I was getting very little benefit to leaving them up, but I was feeling increasingly uncomfortable about it. + +* I don't think many people were reading them and if there was anything useful there it was hard to find. +* I kept getting notifications from people who'd found an old tweet, and wanted to start an argument or hurl abuse in my direction. + I can do without that. +* Those tweets are an increasingly outdated representation of how I think and feel. + Because I haven't tweeted in about two years, anything I've learnt in that time isn't represented there. + My old tweets felt like a liability; something that could be dug up to criticise me for a view I no longer hold. + +I already did this once -- at some point, I deleted all my tweets from before 2017, because they had a lot of personal stuff I no longer wanted to be publicly available. +Absolutely nobody noticed or cared when I did that, and I think this time will be much the same. + +A lot of people I know deleted their accounts in November because of the Terms of Service update that would allow X to use posts to train AI models. +While I understand the concern, that wasn't a big issue for me. +I already know my writing has been used to train AI models, including my tweets -- just like pretty much anything else that was publicly available on the web. +I don't think deleting my tweets will affect that. + +I considered deleting my entire account, but I wanted to leave it up as a signpost to where I'm writing/posting now. +I don't think there's too much risk in having an account that just says "no longer here, look over there". + +## How? + +I had about 35,000 tweets I wanted to remove. + +I experimented with a few DIY automations, but I couldn't get anything working quickly. +I decided to pay $7.99 for one month of [TweetDeleter.com's Unlimited plan](https://tweetdeleter.com/pricing) -- a couple of friends had already used it to delete their accounts, and I'd rather pay a token amount than spend more of my time on it. + +I had to upload a copy of my Twitter archive so they knew which posts to delete, and then it took about a week to delete everything. +They seemed to be deleting in batches of 100 at a time, presumably spread out among everyone else deleting tweets at the same time. + +Interestingly, X says that I still have 407 posts, but you can't see any on my profile: + +{% + picture + filename="remaining_tweets.png" + width="372" + alt="Screenshot of my profile on X, showing “407 posts”." + class="screenshot" +%} + +I think these are probably retweets of posts that are no longer accessible to me -- the original tweeter has either blocked me, or made their account private. +I can't unretweet it because I can't see it, but nor does it appear in my profile. + +## What's next? + +I'm going to post a link to this article on Twitter, and then log out. + +I haven't found a good replacement for Twitter -- although I have accounts on [Mastodon](https://social.alexwlchan.net/@alex) and [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/alexwlchan.bsky.social), neither of them feel like the best days of Twitter. +I'm still doing the sort of microblogging I used to do on Twitter, but it's either in the ["today I learned" section](/til/) of this site, or in my private journal. + +I joined Twitter in August 2009 and a lot of good things came out of it, but after fifteen years, it feels like that era of my life is over. diff --git a/src/_images/2024/remaining_tweets.dark.png
