The thought of potentially leaving Twitter is sad. I’ve seen a lot of people say “None or my tweets are worth saving” for them
But for me, I have quite a legacy there…it’s a living archive of personal events, achievements, friendships, photos, and some of my best ideas. A record of my career since 2009. Very hard to leave that behind
It’s also sad to me to see so many people think poorly of their output on Twitter. It’s a record of your personal history, and I think that’s important
For example see comments on my article here:
For people who think their Twitter output is unimportant trash—have you ever heard of a midden heap? They are literally piles of old or ancient trash, and archeologists LOVE them because they show how people lived:

Even “trash” has value
