I should have done this ages ago, but: what's the best, last-standing technique for exporting and deleting tweets?

@luis_in_brief Strong Don't Delete here. It's catastrophic to people who do research on whatever subject(s) you may write or have written about.

Meanwhile, it causes precisely zero harm, grief, or momentary inconvenience to Elon Musk.

@n8 I strongly disagree with that assessment.

The very fact that anyone would still want to search it is proof that it drives traffic to Musk's site. For a site that lives on attracting eyeballs to user content, the idea that deleting user content wouldn't have a negative effect on the platform is ludicrous.

You may find it disappointing that people don't want to host their content on a site that enriches a shitty human being, but maybe you should blame the shitty human being for that, not the decent people who are rebuking him.
