Twitter refugees: if you are leaving Twitter for good, do NOT deactivate your account, just set it to private and leave it.

Otherwise you risk squatters taking your name and exploiting your reputation, manipulating your followers, or coercing you into buying it back from them.

Bots smell the blood in the water; let's not leave them chum.

Another point might be to download a copy of your existing data and not share much on twitter. You can always share via Mastodon. You never know when they will charge you for twitter severance and data download.
