Twitter Purges Inactive Accounts, Musk Warns of Follower Count Drop.

Twitter is purging inactive accounts that have had "no activity at all for several years," according to tweets by owner Elon Musk. This move may free up coveted usernames, potentially luring lapsed users back to the platform. Musk has been interested in freeing up usernames since taking over the social network and had previously promised to start freeing the namespace of 1.5 billion accounts. It's not clear how users will be able to acquire these usernames beyond the usual method of trying to create a new account with a particular name.
