Seems like a lot of people are closing their Twitter (still not calling it X) accounts for good this time. While I remain largely inactive, I still find value in quite a bit that gets posted there, at least as I experience it, but I hardly ever post there.

I used to have a service that deleted my tweets every 30 days and since Twitter closed down their API, I haven’t been able to do it systematically. Deleting tweets one-by-one is a real PITA. So today I collaborated with Claude and ChatGPT to code what I am calling Delete Tha Tweets. It’s some javascript that you can copy/paste into your browser console to delete your tweets, retweets and replies, though as of this writing the replies functionality is a separate script. Anyway, I hope this helps some others that may not want to delete their accounts, but don’t want their posts to stick around.

Here’s a little screen recording of it doing its magic.
