Unfortunately, it means that people who have liked or retweeted things you have posted now lose access to that information. I followed one person whose Twitter feed was a gold mine of information and who decided to delete their entire Twitter account. That was a great loss to the software development community. He's back on Twitter now, but I don't follow him anymore.
Not just information but conversations. I have several friends who I used to enjoy a conversation with on social media, which are a strange one-sided affair now they've deleted their accounts. It almost feels like a betrayal that someone gets to veto a shared experience like that.
At risk of sounding cavalier, this is an excellent example of why information controlled by other people/organizations/companies is not a reliable personal bookmarking service. :)
Thankfully there (1)are (2)options (3) for automatically saving things you like on Twitter to accounts in your control. With a little ingenuity, you can also roll your own program to do this (maybe not with Lambda, though).
That said, still my favorite and most reliable form of saving information is taking notes on paper. Writing also helps you internalize the information, so that's a double win.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
