If you’re just as displeased about the organization that runs AO3 kicking someone for being pro-Palestine (source 1) (source 2) as I am, here are some things you can do…
Use the OTW contact form and the AO3 feedback form to voice your displeasure. Additionally, inform them exactly how you will be withdrawing support until this issue is resolved.
Stop donating to AO3. This is an obvious one, but important. If you have previously donated, but will no longer be doing so, be sure to say it in your feedback form submission!
Switch fanfiction sites. Both for reading, AND for uploading. Alternatives include WattPad, Fanfiction.net, tumblr itself, or even hosting your fanfiction on a site of your own, via Neocities. Don’t want to stop using AO3’s tagging system? Check out SquidgeWorld, which uses AO3’s open-source code. It even has a rule against CSEM! While AO3 doesn’t get money from ad revenue, seeing the number of visitors drop will certainly get the message across.
Encourage others to do the same, and spread the word!
So like I understand the need to free up usernames that were taken and then never used again, but what about accounts of people who died ?
Its unclear if the criteria for an inactive account’s deletion is both “No log in for years AND zero tweets made by the account as a whole,aka empty accounts”
It could very well be “No login for years and zero tweets made during this inactivity”
Which would sucks cuz theres a lot of cool stuff made from accounts who are inactive, and again, all that some families have left from their deceased loved ones is an inactive twitter account.
Back in 2019,this concern was brought up, and Twitter said they wouldnt delete accounts to free up names without making it possible to memorialize accounts of a deceased person first.
Now, Under Elon, i dont know if it will be made.
So if you know an inactive account you really loved.. make sure to save its tweets into the wayback machine, take screenshots, etc.
Just in case.
Also they dont even specify how many years. We’re left in total darkness regarding questions we have.
Also hey maybe if enough people Ask Elon about not deleting inactive accounts who do have content in them maybe hell only delete accounts who are empty ??
I'm always in a hehe era, I can never not be. There is always something funny to see 🤩

For anyone who is unaware, MAP means "minor attracted person" though this is nothing but a false name Pedophiles use in attempt to weasel their way into the Queer community. If you see anyone using this flag, block them and report them if you can.

A few of these are probably referring to the date posting bug thing, but AAAAAAAAAAAH!
