: New:

Some Twitter executives resigned last night; specifically execs who make sure that users' private information stays private. So, long story short, I deleted my Twitter account.

Short story long:

[screen shot of Twitter conversation: I tweet that the news means folks should delete their old Twitter messages. Knowledgable Twitter user Ian Brown points out those messages will still sit on Twitter's servers; only way to delete them is to delete your account.] [screen shot of Twitter conversation: I tweet 'Guess I will start scrolling through my old messages and figure out how worried about them getting hacked' [screen shot of Twitter profile page: "This account does not exist"

The Octothorpean Twitter account is still there, though it's mostly just a "We've moved to Mastodon" signpost. The Octothorpean Twitter account didn't have any private information to speak of, whew!
