Replying to Avatar fiatjaf

I've deleted my Twitter account. Some days after my username was made available for anyone to grab (contrary to what used to happen traditionally). Some unfunny imbecile grabbed it and is now running free there making retarded posts while still trying to put out a facade of legitimacy. This is all fine, I don't mind, it's ok.

What really bothers me is that all the old tweets from people who had mentioned "@fiatjaf" in all past discussions now link to this new fake profile. How can they not index the mentions by any form of unique account id, but only by username? And then they allow people to freely change usernames and cause all links to break -- and someone else takes the old username and now all the links point to the wrong place.

Is this nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's broken code that no one had the time to fix in 20 years or what?

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.
