unpopular opinion,

I don't think clearing your Twitter timeline is always a bad idea

Honestly, the incentives to clean your timeline once a year or so, are wildly in favor of erasure,

My feeling is to use @threadreaderapp & archiving for important threads, or clear the timeline around the important stuff you want to keep around

Twitter is built on hot takes & @ moment observations,

but these age extremely poorly & doesn't make sense not to clear your timeline now & then

Many are happy to use reasonable statements at the time against U

I wish it wasnt like that, but Ur working against human nature

The fact that a tweet in a certain year that is okay can be used to cancel your account in a different year means you basically have to do so to stay around

You cannot predict what those tweets will be, so I think tweet-deletion does justify itself

For those worried about important bad tweets disappearing,

This is why people should learn how to archive
