Hisham on Nostr: When deleting my Twitter account for good yesterday, I did what someone else here ...
When deleting my Twitter account for good yesterday, I did what someone else here suggested and I renamed my account, created a new one to avoid username squatting, then deactivated my real one.
The new account process made me pick 3 interests and 1 account to follow. I picked things that as distant from American politics as possible: "music", "sports", "travel", and the account for the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil.
This is what X shows to that new user account:
