Using Redact with Twitter

We currently support Twitter as a service for Redact. You can mass remove your tweets, likes, subtweets.

Delete by date range

Deletion can be specified by Start Date (Only delete after this date) or End Date (Only delete before this date). When you press the calendar icon, a calendar will appear. By default, it’ll take you to the current date, but you can easily change this. You can click the title at the top to select from a list of months, or click it twice to select from a list of nearby years. Alternatively, you could click the left and right arrows to skip around to adjacent months. When you have the correct month and year, you just click the day and you’re done. If you want to start over, just tap the Reset in red text.

Tweet filters

Redact has 6 types of filters for tweets; Retweets, Replies, Images, Video, Quotes, and Links. When selecting these types, . means that the tweets will only be targeted by Redact if you otherwise have rules that include it. - means that you want Redact to skip over the that type. + means that the tweets MUST be included in the deletion.

Delete all Twitter history

To bulk delete anything and everything on your Twitter account, just skip the form, go straight to Deletion Mode, and click Start Deleting. Take note that deletion is irreversible, and we only recommend deleting everything if you want to have a totally fresh Discord account rather than making a new one.
