Friend asks other than nuking it from space what's the best practice for locking up a twitter account that won't be used --they just want to prevent re-use of the handle. I tried to RTFM but it's so oookey.
i had 2 accts.
on my professional acct i locked it down then downloaded all content, then deleted the content and left it empty. I check on it once per month. i post "Hello World" then within the hour i delete it. I also reject all friend requests. i have 5 subscribers (my clients) and i follow them and a few news orgs.
My fun acct is also locked. I make very few posts there but I kept my 15K followers which are now down to 10K. I only go on x to help clients w/marketing issues.
@Bliss Thanks, very helpful, will pass it along.
@b4cks4w If you have/manage a brand the best practice is to:
1. register your or your clients brand name on any platform where there are many users so no one uses it.put alerts on
2. make sure there is 2-factor authorization on your acct so if there is a data breach no one can steal your acct
3. if you're not going to be active on the platform post a message for potential followers like:
Bliss is not active on this platform yet. Till we are you can find us at our website: bliss.webpage. com
Seems like the answer is mass delete, turn on MFA and go.
