Downloaded my data from X/Twitter and Facebook and deactivated those accounts. Insta is next. And then I might start looking at Google! That's a harder one for me... But feels great so far! I'll mainly be here on the #Fediverse and keeping an eye on Bluesky. #ByeFB #ByeX #ByeTwitter

@luca very excited to finally purge my Twitter timeline. It was an excellent tool at the start for #scicomm but there was no way I could stay, and I stopped posting almost exactly 2 years ago. Thanks for providing this wonderful tool because I hated having everything still up there. #xitter #byeTwitter

And it's all suffused with the memory of how optimistic so many of us were that this could all be such a powerful force for good.

It still can be—still is sometimes. But there's something I wrote in those early years, when I felt the chill of the first shadows cast over the Web 2.0 landscape: There are some people who can't see a commons without dreaming up profitable tragedies.

I can't remember if I tweeted it at the time. In a little while, it won't really matter if I did.

"So, Rob, how are you spending your Friday evening?"

I'm surprised how sad it makes me to do this. Skimming through the Twitter archive I downloaded, I've been looking at tweets from the very earliest days. Exchanges and banter, some light, some serious, with people I cared about, some of whom I'll never see again.

Since the new Twitter TOS takes effect on November 15 and continuing to use the site means you consent to having all of your posts being used to train generative AI, we finally deactivated our one remaining Twitter account.

We're on the fence about setting up another account for the sole purpose of viewing content without contributing. Alternately, we could just use a crappy AI to post to the site and poison the training data they're harvesting. Maybe we'll do so in the future, if we find we're missing too much from Twitter, but the recent uptick in everything on Bluesky (and, to a lesser extent, Mastodon) has us feeling like we're not gonna miss anything worth being worried about.

2/ Menschen aus der Politik, der Wirtschaft, der Wissenschaft: nehmt Musk doch einfach sein Megaphon aus der Hand und hört auf, seine hässliche Plattform zu nutzen! Der beste Zeitpunkt dafür wäre direkt nach der Twitter-Übernahme gewesen - der zweitbeste ist jetzt. Es tut nicht weh. Okay, vielleicht am Anfang ein kleines bisschen - aber ihr kommt darüber weg, versprochen. #Xit #byetwitter
