    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
