I have been trying all day to delete my Twitter account but it will not allow me to deactivate.

It just keeps saying there is an error and try later. I think they are just messing with me.🤬

1. Maybe if you call Elon a bad name they'll do it for you

5. Now this is funny.

Probably true, too!

2. I like a better idea

Read that deleting or blocking all advertising hurts the Muskox more than deleting your account. Takes revenue away from him.

15. So if I'm not part of Twitter...

And I delete my account and no longer visit the site how does my presence on planet earth make Money for Elon?

3. What is it exactly (people in general) think is being accomplished by 'deleting (their) account'?

Just curious the logic people are using in this sort of decision?

You can 'delete' all you want, but they aren't just gonna forget you.

Removing the app from your phone and simply never visiting the site moving forward (on phone or browser) accomplishes more in the grand scheme of things, just saying.

10. Deactivating our accounts is starving the beast..

which is the point.

I opened an account years ago, to keep up with other music friends who migrated to the East Coast for various music studies etc. But I never really used it per se. Essentially, I've been an absentee account holder.

I deactivated it because I never want to be connected to that platform for any reason on any level.

12. Keeping an account but never actually using it/visiting the site or the app

Actually costs them more.

The way they actually make money is people viewing the content.

I mean, if it makes you feel better to delete your account, by all means do.

But the existence of your open account, intrinsically ... costs them money, it doesn't make them money.

Unless you visit the site/use the app.

Just sayin'

4. Did you check your SETTINGS?

Most social media platforms have a SETTINGS button. People I know with Twitter accounts have been able to de-activate their accounts without any problems.

Hope that helps.

8. Good advice. My Twitter feed shows a column of icons on the left side of the page.

Three Dots (More) - Settings and Support - Settings and Privacy - Deactivate Your Account.

I haven't done it, but I successfully clicked through to the last page to find the final command to deactivate and also have heard from others that it works.

6. Elon just wants you to just give him a chance. What could possibly go wrong?

[Opbrg]

7. I deleted mine

with no problem. Also uninstalled it from my phone.

[Samrob]

9. You do need to use your password to verify your ID to deactivate. nt

11. Settings, then to Security I think. and the option to deactivate is right there.

[madashelltoo]

13. Me too.

I have been trying to deactivate my account since last week with the same response.

[PittBlue]

14. I know how to deactivate it, it just keeps giving an error message and try later.

Thanks for your advice, everyone.

16. Musk knows exactly how to suppress free thinking even before he does anything.

I guess this is because people fear him as some kind of stay bull Jean us.
He's a frat boy that still makes fart jokes. You're going to let that rule what you can say?
Weak stuff. Very weak stuff.
