  2. Announce to friends and family I was deleting my account (yup I'm that person).
  3. Delete account
  4. Success!

  2. Delete second account,
  3. Links into twitter are still a problem, but I spend possible 2 minutes on the site per week tops.
  4. NEXT STEP: Block www.twitter.com, www.x.com, etc. from all devices personal and work via /etc/hosts, pihole, custom dns, etc.
