@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz, ok fine, for an active definition of “active”. There is a very good reason for large accounts to keep their account “active” in a passive sense. If they delete the account, someone else can register the name and impersonate. (After 30 days? Maybe?) The hard core way to “leave” is to delete all your tweets but *keep* your account.

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz I do not like the idea of sharing anything with those people, but I don't think deactivating the account is the best solution, because after 30 days, someone can take over your old name, with all your old tweets, and then start posting white supremacist or Q-Anon stuff on what was your good name. I'm not comfortable with that possibility, and until I know that's not going to happen, I'm leaving my account live but not interacting. Let it sit there dormant.
