Twitter (X) is going to take my username @sports, any ideas how I might keep it?

I’ve been a user for 16 years, since their first day of public signups. I login every day and use twitter for hours every day. I tweet more than is shown on my account (I delete tweets often).

Here’s the message they sent me:

“Hello, The user handle associated with account @Sports will be affiliated with X Corp. Accordingly, your user handle will be changed to a new user handle.

However, we appreciate your loyalty and want to minimize any inconvenience this may cause. At this time we will be changing this handle to @sportz. We have listed additional handles that you can choose from below. Just respond to this message and we can assist you in making the change.

All data associated with your prior user handle, including followers and following data, will be transferred to your new user handle.

Please reply to this email if you have any questions. Best regards, X”

It's not your username; it was always theirs.

Vote with your feet. Mason, bluesky, threads, etc. Musk has to be made an example of otherwise other people will try to imitate him.

Quit, tell your friends to quit, then spend time raising awareness around all/any of Musks many fraudulent statements and corrupt actions. Especially wrt TSLA.

Make a big fuss about how unfair this is, contact news sites, get a trending 'post' and then leave.

The only thing you can do now is add another dent and scuff in Elon's once perfect image, as opposed to going quietly. Maybe with enough damage, people will see him for the monster he is.
