I'm finding myself uncertain and surprisingly emotional about what's going on over at Twitter. While I'm 100% behind federation (and am thrilled to see you all here!), it's hard to watch a set of communities that have been important to me for almost a decade and a half just disappear.

Ah well. We are nothing if not evolution-based, right? Bring on the brave new future.

@hadleybeeman I’m feeling so sad about its demise. It was such an important part of my life for so long.

@sharonodea @hadleybeeman without wishing to be overdramatic, it feels like I've lost one of my senses.

Let's hope the others pick up the slack.

@Edent @sharonodea One of your senses... I get that. I'm expecting a big sense of disorientation without it to turn to. How else will I know what's going on? We're going to have to make a big effort to tell each other now.

@hadleybeeman @sharonodea @Edent we’re going to do a “toot-up” in London on Dec 13th if you’re interested in chatting more about this… details to come shortly.

@andypiper @hadleybeeman @Edent sadly I’m not in London then. I’m around for the next week though!

@sharonodea @andypiper @hadleybeeman I'll be out of the country, but will raise a glass in solidarity.

@hadleybeeman @Edent @sharonodea oooh happy to meet up before December, also!

@hadleybeeman @sharonodea @Edent we’ve decided to move the meetup into January, FWIW. Will let you know.
