I feel as though some of my threads over there are an legitimate if minor part of the scientific record — for example, the thread that laid out, 24 hours after the IHME model was first posted, why it would fail, and the follow-up three weeks later using its daily predictions and updates to validate that assessment.

I hate to simply vaporize these.

Anyway, it was a good run and I just figured I ought to note my decision here.

@ct_bergstrom I'll be doing the same. Let us know what method of deletion you find to be the best.

@ct_bergstrom I understand your feeling. Me staying there is hanging by a thread at the moment (basically only because I have a small following and can use it "in a bubble").
In any case, when I need to delete old tweets, I use this:

@ct_bergstrom I hope you grabbed your archive already. You did solid public health service work, better than the apparatchik ridden CDC, and certainly saved lives.

@ct_bergstrom it truly has become a sinister place over there. on top of elon's awful right wing posts, he's boosting right wingers in the algorithm. right wing scumbags who i dont even follow pop up in my feed all the time and its happening to everyone

@ct_bergstrom May I suggest using archive.org to archive threads you believe to be worth saving? Obviously this may be time consuming, so focusing on the most important threads is useful.
