Oddbean new post about | logout
 I heard that the tools to delete all your Tweets don't work anymore. This script allows you to delete them anyways: [this is the old script, look at bottom for the new one] https://gist.github.com/lucahammer/1aa16b4d3c1fb04035839da5ef699d65

- #Xcorp may view it as a violation of their terms (automation) and ban your account. Use at your own risk.
- At least in the EU you have a right to delete your own data which overrules any company terms.
- This only removes them from your profile, Tweets may still exist in backups and other places.

I wasn't able to get the script to run unsupervised. After some time the timeline stays empty and you have to manually reload the page and run the script again. Currently, I am testing it with a 15 year old account with 19 k Tweets. I had to reload every 500 Tweets on average. After adjusting the script to not hit the rate-limit (50 requests per minute), it should run with less interruptions. But the Xcorp infrastructure is unreliable. #twitter

2023-09-19 Initial release
2023-09-19 Replies get deleted as well. Script switches between Tweets and Replies until neither returns new results.
2023-09-25 New script that uses the data export and is much faster: https://social.luca.run/@luca/111120828522417018

 @fe5dcd3d Good to know. Deleting them manually has been a pain.
