Thank you, Catherine, for providing additional context that I brought to our Outreach & Engagement Team meeting this morning. 

We have decided to archive our tweets once the semester ends and we have a bit more time. 

We already use Later to push out things to various platforms, so there's no extra work to post to Twitter. Twitter is one of the only places the institution's main account reposts from, so our thought is to wait until the larger institution or Twitter makes additional moves since it will be a bit before we can archive.  

We agreed that we would want to keep a hold of our handle, and this way, we have a little more time to push out to other platforms. If there is an immediate issue between now and then, we will take care of it. But right now, we're monitoring month by month in what will likely be slow offboard as Twitter self-destructs. 

Best, 

Heather

I've been discussing this with my boss also - it's not a platform we use very much so we will probably leave. However, some steps that can be taken in the interim are these:

Download an archive of your tweets - it takes a couple of days.
Change your password and, if possible, enable two-factor authentication (although I've seen reports that TFA is not currently working on the platform due to Musk's changes).
Lock the account so that no-one can DM you, etc.

Some experts have advised deleting all your tweets once you have your archive and then deleting your account. I would not suggest deleting your account as I think you need to protect your corporate identity. Deleting your account would make your handle available to someone else to use. Whilst the number of fake and facsimile account has increased, we don't want to make it easier for the trolls to use.

Once you have your archive of tweets, I have read that you can archive them to the Internet Archive but there are some restrictions around that (apparently only 20 at a time).

Hope that helps.

I have been thinking about this as well, actually.

Hi all!
We have a small but amazing social media team here at SAIC's Flaxman Library. Between our lack of engagement on Twitter, and the current mess that this space has become, we are thinking about leaving the platform all together.

Anyone else having this conversation at their institutions? Thoughts on how to thoughtfully exit?

Best,
Mackenzie
