They've already started deleting old tweets for some reason.
I only tweeted 4 times and the 2 oldest tweets are gone :(
- fullstop 7y agoI had a tweet from 2006, right after launch. It just said "this is dumb". It's gone now.
- echelon 7y agoWait, is this really happening? Can you confirm or post evidence? This is a big deal if so.
- dylan604 7y agoHow does one prove a negative? A deleted tweet from 2006 where nobody has taken a screen shot. It's not an active account like POTUS with the entire world watching specifically for catching deletes. I'm seriously asking
- eggsome 7y agoI can't provide proof, but I _know_ that I tweeted @adom_dev around the time of it's kickstarter and one of the Baldurs Gate EE devs about gemrb around the time they announced that project. Both tweets are gone.
- kretor 7y agoI don't think those tweets are gone. The "Tweets & replies" section of your profile (https://twitter.com/eggsome/with_replies https://twitter.com/eggsome/with_replies ) has two tweets that seem to match your description: https://twitter.com/eggsome/status/228459378859180032 https://twitter.com/eggsome/status/228459378859180032 https://twitter.com/eggsome/status/189888249500680192 https://twitter.com/eggsome/status/189888249500680192
- fullstop 7y agoI can't prove that it was deleted. My first tweet appears to be from 2012 but I joined in April 2007 and definitely tweeted once then. (I was wrong about it being 2006) I'm pretty sure that I changed my handle at some point. I'll try to remember what it was and search the internet archive.
- zelly 7y agojack probably messed up while testing
- crusty511 7y agoAre they gone or just held in cold storage?
- draugadrotten 7y agoAre they really deleting the tweets and data, or are they just hiding them from plain view? It seems that deleting any old data is a negative for the company. Data is the new oil, right.
- flurdy 7y agoThat may not be intentional. Or permanent. They may have had an accidental data loss. But more likely it is data that is rarely read so not stored in a hot cache near your edge.
