Delete it. Then create a new one, and don't post anything.
I'm literally a Twitter lurker.
I don't feel that it's a safe place to engage with in an honest manner.

Forums are a far better place for engagement imo than any other social media site. Perhaps it's the simple flow, or the fact that the users in this site are usually fairly regular and you get to know a little about which user is which helps make the engagement a little better.Delete it. Then create a new one, and don't post anything.

I feel like if you had a conversation/argument with someone in twitter, you'd likely never see that person again.
Twitter is amazing for speedy breaking news/short clips for vip to get their content out but that's about it imo.
what news gets broken faster on twitter than just periodic(more efficient?) listening to a news channels headlines like bbc -
equally, what vip would I follow -
radio had an interview with, unknown to me, dart player luke littler this am - whose measure of success was number of parasocials reading his posts on X.
to the degree that social media/4g works for those poor folks in Gaza / Ukraines I can see it could be life and death but otherwise instant news update isn't needed.

Trump or even Elon would be a perfect example. If you like them, how else would you get more updates from them in such an efficient way?
True to some degree, though the breaking news that breaks on BBC and other news sites is then efficiently posted on twitter with links to the stories. Rather than have all these different apps, you can follow the news stations on Twitter and get their tweets, and then in addition, comments, replies etc on Twitter

Good ol' Thunderf00t, still one of the most petty, petulant, whiny little manchildren on Youtube.
He makes a lot of valid points but his smug, self entitled delivery winds me up no end.

See I avoid all this Twitter nonsense by having never bothered to create an account in the first place. If I want to hear a load of crazy people shout **** at eachother I can walk into town.

Clickbait headline surely, they could have sold shares.Concerning

It's handy on some respects, it's nice they allow more nudity than Instagram, for example.

They said they didn't sell any, they just devalued what they held. But what they held was like a fiver ($20m or something). So the writedown wouldn't have dinged them at all tbh.
