crazy

Valuable lesson here, if you have a valuable name.

thanks for finally joining us in the #NostrOnly life.

Now imagine the potential of @alexandre

Ooof , even if you quit twitter I think you should get that resolved asap , you never know how far they might go

This is an anti-best practice

Will the real slim shady please stand up

This is identity theft. Maybe they implemented Nostr where if someone steals your nsec you can become them.

If they report the new user, that probably will work breaking the X rules for "impersonation".

Well, probably..

It’s not just broken code it’s a disregard for digital legacy. Mentions should 100% map to immutable IDs. I’ve started screencapping convos for this exact reason. Have you tweeted at @TwitterSupport? Maybe public shaming will get their attention.

This guarantees X will be 100% scam accounts given enough time.

Better to get your account banned or lock it and unfollow everyone than to delete it.

lmao twitter handles are duck typed?

Okay, not gonna lie, im laughing HARD XD

Sorry to hear this though; would feel weird seing that done to my own name too.

But wtf twitter? xD

Huh, Jack lives rent-free in your mind when the South African Nazi oligarch is in charge for quite some time and has turned the bird app into 4chan with more Nazis ?

#Twitter really needs to fix it's code 😔

May be Jack's old code, while the bigger guffaw is that this is just another great example of the facade that Elon is some great-mind or Engineer.

Twitter won't do that, they'd rather shadowban your account than offer that feature.

Twitter usernames or handles are the property of Twitter Inc. and users are only able to use them for free and have no right to keep them.

Why my relay so delay to find yours

I guess the best approach is to not delete the account and just stop posting.

This is exactly why I decided to restore my account after deactivating it and just leave it locked, dormant, and pointing to my Nostr profile. I didn’t want someone else to grab my username and start impersonating me, or worse.

I get the technical side of it, but it’s frustrating when old posts get linked incorrectly.

One thing’s for sure—I’m not deleting my Twitter/X account over this. I’ll just remove the posts that need to go.

WTF 👀👀

It was for that reason that I took a spare account I had and changed the username to Corndalorian after I deleted my main account, and then locked the account and I don’t use it other than to look up tweets.

fuck em. well done 🔥

I manage operations for a Chinese social media app, which is quite niche—probably no one has heard of it. We have an ID/UID system where IDs can be anything, but the system sorts everything based on their "Unique ID" to avoid issues like this. It's strange how Twitter never implemented something similar.

Wow, this is a major f-up on their part. Discoverability is everything
