I mean, that's literally the point of a social media company. Certainly the successful ones. Hey, anyone remember 20 years ago when Hotmail would delete your account if you didn't log in for 3 months? Wonder why they never became the dominant free email service.

verizon or whoever now owns yahoo deleted the contents of my ~15 year old yahoo mail account because it was inactive for one year. i use it as my recovery account so while it was annoying that all my old messages were gone.. at least they didn't drop the account. imagine the loving cost of dealing with the spam/fraud/grifting that would have caused.

but yeah elon wants to purge usernames to save.... how much money can be saved doing that vs just the cost of figuring out how to purge usernames.

Imo they should auction off the entire account like an unpaid storage shed lol.

I mean the kind of person who joins the Texas national guard is probably incredibly sad that they're sitting around doing nothing away from their family instead of getting to actually mow down crowds of invading foreigners so i can't say I'm too sad for them

I bet many of these claimed Texas National Guard people are in fact the dipshit unarmed state-only militia, the Texas State Guard. They can only operate within the state and are more or less under the direct control of the governor.

Edit: Look at their missions pre and post election of Biden. It was all natural disaster recovery and then became mostly Greg Abbott bullshit. https://tmd.texas.gov/texas-state-guard-missions I

zedprime posted:

If we're talking about the feelings of the dead people here they're gonna have the least regrets about failing to keep their account inactive. If we're talking about their relatives then using Twitter as a remembrance shrine is already a bad idea because it's subject to much more random reasons of losing access.

That's what I mean about a socially productive archiving plan. If you want Twitter to be a memorial or remembrance there's maybe other things to be doing than hoping on the status quo they keep a policy of retention for ever or until the company dies or the systems fall apart.

I'm also biased because I would totally join a forget-info cult and if we're talking about my personal feelings instead of being socially productive I'd much rather see social media getting completely purged on a rolling basis every 2-3 years.

Ditto here. You're already failing if Twitter is your evidence store.

I'm sorry, but this is a really poo poo take. If Facebook announced they were going to delete my dead friend's account, I would flip my poo poo.

Zuck actually just did pretty well at some jui jitsu tournament recently. I believe he won a few rounds.

These idiots could literally hire the top athletes to live with them and train them full time. But that's hard work and they don't actually want criticism they want someone kissing their rear end and telling them how awesome they are at everything. It's why you get hannity posting horrific videos of him practicing boxing or don jr. looking like a moron while deadlifting 225 lbs
