    Don’t just “delete” Twitter as in deleting the app. Please also close your account.

      Very important distinction. I’ve deleted the apps long before, thinking i’d keep the account to occasionally look at someone’s feed. When they publicly reinstated neonazi accounts, it was the last drop in the ocean

        If you merely abandon your account, the change can be seen in the MAU statistics. If you delete it instead, you’ll make sure you won’t slip in the future. Either way, investors care about the active users, because the total number of accounts isn’t a very useful number to them.
