Tell HN: A Better Action than Deleting Your Twitter Account
It's superior to get the account suspended uspension is better
Then nobody can re-register the handle and retroactively impersonate you.
What's the best least bad way to get my accounts all suspended?
- mindcrash 4y agoIf you _really_ forcefully want your account suspended pretend to be Elon Musk or any other celeb without mentioning you are a parody. (at)chriswarcraft, (at)kathygriffin and (at)h3h3productions are all proof of success.

- metadat 4y agoThis makes sense.. any slightly classier / less publicly grotesque+embarrassing options than this?
- SequoiaHope 4y agoImpersonate Elon Musk without specifying parody.
- metadat 4y agoSimply tweet "I'm Elon Musk. The real one. Not joking." ? Somehow I doubt anyone will notice.
- SequoiaHope 4y agoDo that and then reply to one of Elon Musk's tweets and say you're giving away 1000 bitcoin to the first people that click some link you share in your tweet.
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agomake a second account, DM the gamer word from your main, then report yourself but that's more trouble than its worth
- CaliforniaKarl 4y agoWhy go for a suspension? If you want to make sure nobody takes your Twitter handle, then make one last post to point people somewhere else, pin that post, and then stop using it. Maybe also change your password to something long, and then store it somewhere that you can't access immediately. There's a fair amount of history recorded in the set of all tweets, and it would be sad to lose that, which is what can happen if you delete your account, or it's suspended.
