Idea for a new video to film today: brief spiel about "why you should delete your #twitter account NOW before #elonmusk sells your data to white supremacists!", then record myself deleting my accounts.

What are the hardest hitting points I should put in that spiel? (though odds are if someone hasn't left Twitter yet, theyrenot gonna...)

I could also talk about alternatives, why/why not you should use them. Hive, post, bluesky, mastodon... What else is there? What should I say for or against them?
delete everything you can in your account, then lock it, or make it private, whatever it's called there. That keeps someone else from grabbing your twitter name and impersonating you
@Xantulon I was thinking about that, but that's still keeping my account history on there, the stuff I wasn't able to delete. Also, since blue checks mean nothing (and I was never able to get verified anyway) there's nothing to stop someone from just grabbing a similar name and claiming to be me.
