X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.

I'm not leaving, they’ll have to evict me.

But... Why?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can't speak for the previous comment but in my case they wanted me to remove 2fa (or pay to keep it) just to log in

I didn't remove it, and I've never been back

It’s the principle of the thing. I’m not going to delete myself, pretend I wasn’t there for all those years. The record stands. (Except for any media posted prior to 2014, which now exists only on my personal cloud storage, I guess.)

More power to you I guess, I think our brains just work differently on this subject. I used TweetDelete and nuked my entire account a few months back. I was going to let it just sit there with no activity but then he did another stupid thing (I forget which thing) so I wanted my content completely off the platform.

Perfectly understandable.
