Reminder to my Twitter followers that I will stop using it entirely in a few days when I won't be able to use the API. As an aside, I will also delete all my tweets, so I will completely disappear from your own view of this social network.

It's been a pleasure and an honor.

@Hypolite Petovan how do you delete all your old tweets?

@anubis2814 Several only services offer this feature, but they apparently are rate-limited to deleting your 3200 most recent tweets.

I have been suggested this Python script for which I can accept no responsibility in case of issue: https://gist.github.com/thelumberjhack/a438def3cee8a21e115c79c1846402ae

That's so weird! how is it that they limit you in deleting you own content?! Why would they choose to do that?

@#TBL Tatted Biker Lady I believe it’s an overall API rate limit, but maybe it’s intentional for deletion, because tweets are integral to Twitter’s business model.
