Twitter CEO Elon Musk said that the company will be purge all the inactive accounts on the platform that have been inactive for years, potentially freeing up a number of long-coveted usernames.
“We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop,” Musk tweeted on Monday.
In a move that may make many people lose a ton of their followers the Twitter CEO said that all the old accounts that exist but are not being used will be deleted.
This will make it possible to get their favourite user name that may have been acquired by some one that had not been using that platform for a long time. Currently it is not clear what is going to be the duration of inactivity. It could be 30 days to all the way back to 5 years.
