The article explains the reasons and process for deleting your X account, emphasizing the simplicity of deactivation, which is the first step toward permanent deletion. Users must first deactivate their accounts, making their profiles and posts disappear, but they can reactivate within 30 days if desired. Archives should be downloaded before deactivation, as X cannot provide these post-deactivation. The article also touches on the cultural context surrounding the platform, suggesting alternatives like Bluesky and Threads as greener pastures.
The process to delete your X account is straightforward: deactivate first, wait 30 days without logging in, and the account is permanently gone.
If you want any data before deactivation, make sure to request your archive, as X cannot send it once your account is deactivated.
