allow ’s face it , there ’s no real value in keeping around stuff you say on Twitter ( or X , if you must ) ten old age ago .
Apart from the left “ I called that ! ” , only bad thing can come posted by your tweet your young , less - rounded self surfacing in 2024 .
The trouble is , if you desire to delete those tweets en masse , it ’s in all probability exit to cost you a few chew . The mainservices like TweetDelete are now subscription based , making it difficult to purge your record book for free without manually doing the human activity on every single tweet .
Meta ’s ribbon , which has n’t really done a very good job of severalise itself from everything people dislike about Twitter under Elon Musk , might soon give you the option .
In apost on Threads , bossman Adam Mosseri said it the app maker is start to test the alternative to file away old posts and make yarn more transitory . If the feature of speech undulate out , it ’ll enable drug user to turn on the stage setting manually , or automatically archive the posts after a certain point of metre .
He writes : “ We ’re starting to test theoptionto archive Post with a small number of the great unwashed . you could do this manually , for single berth , or choose to mechanically file away all mail after a sealed point of clip .
“ If you require to make your post public again , you’re able to always unarchive it whenever you ’d like . I scarper a poll white back and the reverberating feedback was not to make this the default option , so we ’re gon na seek it as an choice . ”
While there are ways to cancel many Twitter posts at the same time , the option does n’t live within the first - party model , so this development would be welcome if Threads rolls it out .
Elsewhere today , we learned that Threads has compile 150 million active users . That ’s up 20 million on February ’s amount .
