I just deleted 15 Twitter accounts. Time to move on.

rooreynolds,

@andypiper end of a (lovely) era

@rooreynolds it really was a good thing for a while.

rooreynolds,

@andypiper we found a cool thing. You went there and made it even cooler. Now there’s a disgusting vandal at the helm (for a while) and it’s all just very sad

    @staidwinnow as mentioned in the blog post - I did not sign up for X.

    @andypiper I've been edging closer to doing this every day... feels inevitable but still can't bring myself to click the button. 😢

    the public archive idea is a nice one - I hadn't seen that tool before, so thanks for sharing that

    @dalelane yeah, the content and conversations are hard to let go of, that follower number was a draw for a period of time, but now seems much less important to me. At least I can continue to search back through my content. I do wish I'd kept up my blogging on a more regular basis and curated my own space, but I intend to work on rebuilding that.

    @andypiper Just read it. A poignant post.

    dzzyd,

    @andypiper nice! Welcome 👋

    If you recall, you are the first person I ever followed on Twitter. So glad to have followed you here.

    @mlanger likewise, you’re among many friends met online, but also, a very special connection who I’ve come to know, meet, and learn from - appreciated.

    (it is also lovely when I spot you interacting with other folks in my network - continuing to fulfil the promise of ambient intimacy and connection that social networks can offer)

    @andypiper

    Thank you!

    aaron,

    @andypiper I did that in November. It was rough. I’m sorry.

    @aaron thank you - I've been holding out, but when the logo changed last week my wife said "right, I'm deleting it", and I thought, well, it's beyond that time for me, too.
