She deactivated it... https://macaw.social/@wongmjane/109422805623664627

How is it relevant to randomly guess that something has happened to accounts? Yesterday it was someone claiming all of @Apple's tweets had been deleted... but they've never actually tweeted from that account. Ever.

It's more off-topic than relevant IMO, since the "shifting away from Twitter" idea is not a novel one, despite the recent uptick.

I didn't "randomly guess", if you click on the twitter link, it says "This account doesn't exist", it existed before, therefore the title "no longer exist"

Basic english

That's a news nonetheless, an information, data that you can use to develop an opinion

If you don't like it, you don't click or you downvote if you feel like it's not relevant and move on

Not all the data will be relevant TO YOU


"Basic english" -- that would be English with an capital E, it's a proper noun -- if you're going to be condescending, at least get it right.

News is relevant, what "opinion" can you develop from an incorrect notification? (The account still exists, it's merely in a deactivated state.)

Next time read the submission guidelines instead of being a toxic, condescending douche. Imagine being riled up by basic facts...


Being a "toxic, condescending douche" wasn't my intention, i apologies if you felt that way

That, however, doesn't invalidate what i said about the information, them having poor UX is none of my problems



Thanks! i hate these different mastodon urls

Also shouldn't the profile still be visible? To me it looks removed, not disabled


This is what a deactivated account looks like. The only difference between a deactivated and a deleted twitter account is that a deactivated account can be reactivated. (You can't immidiately delete a twitter account, you can only deactivate it, twitter will delete the account after 30 days if you don't reactivate it.)
