request the @liberapay handle on Twitter #28

Closed maxlath closed 6 years ago

you might have the possibility to request the right to use @liberapay on twitter based on Twitter Inactive account policy, if you can show that you have a registered trademark on the name: maybe having registered a legal entity with the name is enough? It's not that much a big deal, but it does make mentionning liberapay less error prone. Thanks for this great project!

We've already tried to get the account: the owner never answered, and Twitter doesn't give a fuck because we don't have a registered trademark.

I submitted another impersonation report. They probably don't read those at all though.

I'm thinking of tweeting this next week:

If someone from @TwitterSupport reads this: please help us out with case #74188854. Everyone else: please retweet. Thanks. 😘

I sent an email to Twitter support instead, and they've agreed to transfer the username to us!

The rename is done and announced.
