Don't delete your account - it'll only get reused by someone else and cause confusion. In January 2016 - for the same reasons as Phil: Twitter's blind eye towards Trump - I stopped using Twitter. But I didn't delete my account, I instead ran a script to delete all the tweets I had posted leaving it blank, and also unfollowed everyone. In the description I have a link to my website. So Twitter maintains my presence but doesn't get any benefit from my usage. I also did this with Facebook to a lesser extent just leaving connections to family members who wouldn't understand my disappearance. But again, I deleted all photos and posts. Over the past 8 years I found it useful to post once or twice before deleting them after. Twitter isn't going away (sadly) so maintaining a stub presence is useful.
