The idea of deleting Twitter and absconding into the woods continues to grow in appeal with each passing day. Yet even considering the sustained psychic damage this wretched hellsite continues to inflict upon us, it's difficult to simply let go and wipe away years of memes and hot takes. You worked hard on those jokes, after all.
Fortunately, leaving Twitter doesn't mean you have to delete all your tweets for good. Twitter lets you download an archive of your data, meaning you can keep a record of all your old posts for your own private joy and amusement even after you leave.
