> Twitter will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than six months, unless they log in before an 11 December deadline.

I’m responding to my parent poster who quotes: “In future, the firm said it would also look at accounts where people have logged in but don't "do anything" on the platform.”

I guess it depends on what “don’t do anything” translates to in Twitterspeak.

Maybe "on the platform" should be emphasised. Like if you just use your twitter account to log into another site or something.

The old Yahoo Mail strategy. See how well that one worked out.

I don't get this reference: what happened at Yahoo mail and how did it work out?

They removed inactive accounts. And made the handles available to register again by someone else.
