I will be deleting my account here soon because of this policy. This is ridiculous. https://t.co/C0pnCq8t5Z
I requested my final twitter archive using the twitter tools here: https://t.co/oi7IDa704s
I will be posting hosting in onto my keybase if you want to look up old tweets of mine. This appears to not be listed as a prohibited location to link to. https://t.co/qvEqm7BuaF
Keybase allows for people to host verification addresses, and does not appear to be in the list of those prohibited. I have my proof hosted here https://t.co/b1gWBNAF2L
I own wovensoup[dot]com and will likely be self-hosting a decentralized social media node there under a subdomain. I am planning on going to a place where I can be more productive, and this bullshit has just put replacing twitter as the topmost priority.
I am ~ultimape everywhere that matters.https://t.co/KS5n6KemJI
I will no longer be posting meaningful content on the timeline as all future content will not be captured in my export. https://t.co/ndOZHLvAoY
Please export your tweets if you plan to do the same and share them with friends before you leave.It should be possible to take them and insert them into other social media platforms via an import tool at some future point.https://t.co/DX3XxWiyVS
I do not intend to delete tweets until I have something that will let people easily look up archived ones.I know viscerally how much it sucked to see balajis and pmarca's tweets disappear, or see entire accounts blink out of existence due to suspension.https://t.co/z9BfbFsJW1
Maybe the real twitter hivemind was the friends we made along the way. 💌https://t.co/e89RI1eDvc
Downloading archive now. https://t.co/fhXhDfzQQg
Uploaded the two tweets files to keybase. If my account goes down prematurely, they'll be there.I hadn't realized they were being split up until just. https://t.co/gCmeexbECg
The policy page on mentioning mastodon has since been taken down and the Twitter Support account's tweets on the topic were deleted.But I am still going to delete my account. I have written a blog post about why. ~2200 words. https://t.co/SSoePajigD
I will email a link a shorter blog entry to those who contacted me via DMs.It will follow up with specifics on how you can find me currently, and my direction moving forward so we can stay in touch.Discord invites will be sent out once I am able to be more active there.
Holding my network hostage was a direct threat to my well being. That it was even conceivable to do what they did has shaken my trust entirely.I literally made my mastodon account so I wouldn't kill myself if twitter suspended me. https://t.co/JjeiT6eaIb
I will be alright now. Thank you for helping me stay sane all these years.https://t.co/9OzjZxn068
I was not successful in having a lot of time to work on the twitter project over Christmas. And now it looks like the code I did manage to write will cost money to implement. Damn.https://t.co/2X5ihmvGpN
Twitter no longer lets me use the search page on my phone unless I log in. So can't even link to tweets in my memex anymore.Thankfully google has a lot of them cached.https://t.co/nOiv9TLbNI
If anyone wants to kick the tires, @bluesky has been working on federation support in a sandbox/testing capacity. https://t.co/9jEy8GNySWIf you wanna poke around with the at-protocol this is good opportunity to get some experience in early.https://t.co/EfbcVYQeKV
I am really looking forward to what is going to be built on there. https://t.co/zl94320mag
When I can host my own federated node on the bluesky network, I'm importing all my content there and leaving this place.https://t.co/U5j6Q7h6ik
Once I have a fresh backup, I'm changing my password to some random garbage string and then deleting my account.https://t.co/nPbr0DMotP
Today I upload all my public tweets to Github. https://t.co/8XkoFZXCC1
FIghting with this for ages. Finally figured out what was going wrong. It turns out if you have too many tweets the main tweets.js file it generates is just above what GitHub accepts🤦> "GitHub blocks files larger than 100 MiB." https://t.co/EB2T0DPsmH https://t.co/fliHEtpLSO
I now have an export of my tweets on GitHub.https://t.co/IlIej1n53RThis should contain all my tweets up to2023-08-19 (August 19th, 2023)
If any who's interacted with me a lot want bluesky invites, DM me. I will give them out first-come first serve. I've already made the offer to all my patrons.https://t.co/LIBxzO49UB
A literal rat came into our room by climbing up a powercord we had run out a window.So I spent a week re-arranging my room to get him out. In that time I only had access to BlueSky cuz my laptop was inaccessible.I didn't miss twitter at all.
Bluesky now supports self-searching, so I can use it basically use it like I used twitter before!https://t.co/AtAfaTTUvN https://t.co/v8gdCgRGa4
"Eventually those users will migrate"https://t.co/teGKYnCqDh
Bluesky's content is now visible without logging in. It's always been public via their API, but now it's visible from their web frontend.https://t.co/kHcM8wW12RThis is why I like bluesky.https://t.co/aLH36IJ9cn
Unlike twitter, I started using bluesky with a #root thread from the start.Now that content is public from the web interface, you can view it here!https://t.co/ZqqtlgI8yW
"For developers: We’ve already federated the network among multiple servers internally, and later this month, you’ll be able to self-host a server that connects to the main production network." 🎉https://t.co/0VmqIn9gdF
It's now possible to run a local copy of your data with limited federation support with the main bluesky instance. It's still not fully rolled out, but seems like I should be able to kick the tires! https://t.co/UVaJ7rYsER
"As of Feb, 2024, the AT Protocol data service (PDS) is now open to federation for self-hosters!"https://t.co/ITt4bYLzPL
This is not something I recommend doing for most people."Be warned: these migrations involve possibly destructive identity operations. While we have some guardrails in place, it may still be possible for you to break your account and we will not be able to help you recover it."
Since that host-your-own PDS was released for bluesky, @nsreed has already managed to parse most of my tweet-backup file and dump 'em into an sqlite database.Working on getting a PDS hosted on my online VPS today to test against their sandbox.
I'm hearing disturbing rumors that by adding my bluesky handle to my profile, I am manipulating the platform and no longer have visibility from search.https://t.co/OGpuKwuX7y
Bluesky now has a rudimentary functional version of DMs. Not encrypted (yet), but exciting to see. Seems to work ok.https://t.co/zt0LMK5VKX
My thread where I talk about how garbage voting software (installed by the state of Vermont) prevented me from voting in 2016 is all "This post is unavailable."I'm sure this is good for democracy.https://t.co/Vf5pja4tIT
Fucking free speech platform my ass.https://t.co/b10d7GuuMW
I don't know why my account got limited, but if it was because of a genuine and well documented gripe about voting software sucking ass... I'm gonna hold a grude.https://t.co/FmsoGfV0UM
My threads on twitter don't work anymore. They just won't load. They show a little [1] next to the reply, but nothing I do seems to fix it.Fine. I won't explain how the worrier version of COMT genes changes how fast adrenaline is cleared away after stress.
The cool thing about likes on BlueSky is that you can ignore them if you want to.https://t.co/vowVKclmAx
There's a nifty feed generator on BlueSky that shows you people's likes. https://t.co/ZwdEBtDlNzhttps://t.co/2twB5ZSiQo https://t.co/45Y5kEfmXc
The beauty of having choice in algorithm is if some ass hat decides to increase engagement to reach some growth target to entice subscribers to his platform (by removing the heckler's veto effect), you can ignore him."This Changes The Game"https://t.co/YmT20o7T4e https://t.co/OQM5Z1AdzZ
I didn't even want the "likes are stochastic RTs" feature clogging up my homefeed.Now I can choose. On bluesky.https://t.co/MnYxG9WT9v
Applause and Booing has always been a public spectacle. Hiding likes is damaging one of the core features of a public forum.https://t.co/8LxaJ6ypeu
Hiding likes is hiding reputation and damaging the signaling goods that we use to communicate our attention with.https://t.co/lwaNZXAvaL
Destroying humanity's collective consciousness from being able to see what other's think? Great idea Elon. /shttps://t.co/9gHLkYKz2X
@parafactual A different frame: thinking about lack of negative signaling (used by ant and bee colonies as part of their voting mechanisms). Twitter becomes arbiter over speech by inherent manipulation of feeds in an adversarial relationship w/ user's attention.https://t.co/JebB4199s1
@BonbonFork @Plinz @sonyasupposedly Policing behavior ('negative signaling') seems to be normal among complex societies, tho it shows up among ants more often.https://t.co/aAkHddZORnBut we found it in bees as wellhttps://t.co/6GLu6BgHaJI suspect more common than recognized.
I still remember when likes were favorites. they were ⭐️s not hearts.https://t.co/DgjmsBVcT3
Remember when twitter chose to change⭐️(favorite) into ❤️(like) and regular users were saying that this change is going to cause confusion in the userbase?Then started showing 'likes' in feed to boost engagement. And now everyone is mad?Me neither.https://t.co/wPZElzayuM
Angry.https://t.co/jXOoENFOnD
Everybody I've introduced to twitter thinks it's trash and stopped coming.So I am acting as vector of insight porn for newbs in hopes that they'll follow people like @visakanv or @desantis & bootstrap a network of people using twitter as external brain. https://t.co/pEmup2hfol
Get ratioed.https://t.co/K0tNeXCjSC
I've been gaming the "likes are stochastic retweets" for a while now.Your friends of friends are getting fed my ideas just by you following me. I am parasiting off of ranking & engagement systems built to make brand managers feel like they matter.https://t.co/exteoBwP3t
Cant search my account anymore. Free speech platform my ass.https://t.co/VXK5EBTvp3 https://t.co/2VYqEHUpy7

Looks like I can't make posts anymore. Going back to bluesky. Fuck you X.https://t.co/HCXh8Spt6x
Blocking isn't real and can't hurt you. https://t.co/CRoULInbNn
LMAO. I literally can't post links off site anymore.I have my phone in there and have had it in there for years now. What the fucking. https://t.co/9ifFEl1Dxw
I am here to channel thoughts into a thread about curing my dad's locked-in syndrome. I don't want to be here, but the tool we built to test out a RAG to help me do that is being repurposed to allow him to speak.https://t.co/cOx3ncfWr0
Gonna do this when my latest backup comes out. So coolhttps://t.co/fw2qX9JwKGhttps://t.co/XELQvIxRjV

Not sure what to do about this account https://t.co/Z1YfBHRKzGMay just need to abandon it.
"Did you know? You can self-host and/or mirror almost all of Bluesky's infrastructure today!"https://t.co/X7okXqcfGK
Reasons I have not deleted my account in no particular ordre: 1) IAsked not to by multiple people2) Bluesky was hard to port over to at the time3) I like shitposting links to my bluesky cuz its funny.4) my dad got a stroke + this is my exobrain.5) Satisfactory hit 1.0
Good overview of Bluesky and it's open source nature by @theo https://t.co/yzQPBaR278https://t.co/KWXcyVoECX https://t.co/eAcQlGqi3X
This is co cool. I think something like this would also work against my bluesky's content in the future too.Can't wait to see what kind of schizo topics show up in mine. https://t.co/qt2KRiTgKe
Ah yes, good 'ol poop tunnel theory. ☀️https://t.co/ycJUGExdO9 https://t.co/hgLkNLuNvL
One must imagine Freud happy.https://t.co/jriskLgmyG
Does anyone else block and report everyone of the like-bots that show up in their feed? 👇👇👇💅😹 https://t.co/r88MKtgJpZ
<3"There’s already applications in the network that give you another way to view the network, or you could build a new one as well. And so that openness guarantees that there’s always the ability to move to a new alternative."https://t.co/8nm05RnHDp
If you want to give AT protocol a shot but don't wanna join bluesky, You can install the app that lets you post toilet flushes. It's not as shitty as you'd think.https://t.co/VDYEU8kZVv
For a while the only time I was using twitter was because I was logging in to see if Alex DM'd me and ended up replying to people.Now that he's been suspended the appeal of using this place has gone down a lot.https://t.co/O7l5MgPhAG
Bluesky is great, you can actually post links on it.https://t.co/sP7HZv6NHr
@ultimape At some point I'll need to recount for you Martin Luther's theory that Satan inhabited "the shit dimension", and when you were sinning, the world started slowly filling with shit (he had extensive bowel issues and spent a lot of time in isolation w/ various digestion problems)
@market_death oh! really?Fun.https://t.co/0ghKf62Qru
@simonsarris @dvassallo @GRITCULT All these ideas are tainted.You can trace Jung's ideas back thru a lens of vitalism to Nietzsche's via the Zofingia lectures and later him talking to Freud. https://t.co/80ifcpblHI( tracked this stuff down myself personally but that medium post describes it well )
