I am so relieved after cleaning up my acct at the Bird Site.

I used semiphemeral.com to remove 69k tweets & God knows how many DMs.
After setting the parameters, I wasn't sure if it was working.

But this morning, voilà, all my tweets and DMs were gone.

I read that accounts shouldn't be deactivated since some bad actor could use the defunct handle.

So, I locked my account, grayed out my header and avatar & left the msg., "It's been a fun run," along with my forwarding address.

Easy.

@SharonGibson3 How do you lock a Twitter account? I want to leave there without giving the bad guys an upper hand.

@Blueway

Underneath your profile icon is a circle with three dots.

Click on that and click Settings & Support.

Select Settings & Privacy.

From the window that opens, select Privacy & Safety.

On the right side of the screen, there are several options:

Select Audience & Tagging.

On the window that opens, select Protect your tweets.

@SharonGibson3 Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. I really appreciate it.
