somehow I doubt that they currently have to ability to automatically delete accounts for inactivity, based on how all the twitter blue / removing legacy checkmarks fiasco went down. I think they're just gonna use it as a cudgel to try and bully people who left the platform into coming back. I can only hope that nobody big like NPR are pathetic enough to cave, but who knows! media people do seem to have this lingering investment in twitter, even if their "principles" prevent them from financially supporting it

If someone takes an inactive account do they get all the tweets and such with it

What is even the point of this? To save a few bucks not having to store some old tweets from a celebrity? The cost for that has to be miniscule.

Actually, if there was a chance of estates suing for Elon putting the badge on the accounts of dead people this would be about the most petty and on-brand way of lashing out that his last idea didn't work out the way he wanted.

A really funny new development is that I'm seeing a bunch of straight up pornography on my For You feed because only fans promotes are adding captions like "Do you want to see my NFL pussy?" and if you click on the "don't show me this" option it says "Do you want to see less football content?"

Incredible app.

I wonder if the character limit reduced the effectiveness of just slamming every popular tag/topic into the content you want to promote and twitter now is going to gradually devolve into gently caress MY rear end in a top hat TRUMP NBA PLAYOFF STREAM FREE IPHONE PUSSY WATCH SUPER MARIO MOVIE because you've got 10000 characters, why not

More specifically she's in charge of global advertising for all of NBCU and I think you would have to be insane to leave a gig like that to work for Elon's dumpster fire. Also I think her name is just speculation

I would take that job if they agreed to give me gently caress you money in exchange for a short tenure that ends in being blamed for Twitter’s failure.
