I've often pondered what I would do as my last Tweet. For a long time I thought it would be.

"So long and thanks for all the Tweets.”

More recently I've come to like.

"Don't cry from me ArgenTwitter."

At this point I'm not doing a last Tweet. When it happens, it'll be simple account deletion, no notes. The only winning move is not to play.
@[email protected] It's sad to see big players killing the smaller ones.
@paul it’s sad that it had to get to this point. Glad you guys moved toward @ivory
@paul You might want to keep the account for history purposes. So later on someone could try to unravel all this mess.

@paul I’ve been a Tweetbot user for a long as I can remember. The best Twitter app by far. A shame for it to come to this.

Looking forward to Ivory tho

@paul Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig enjoys it
@paul That’s what I did in November 2022. Thanks for almost 15 years of Tweetbot. Looking forward to Ivory.

@paul

I had four twitter accounts, two of them had long post histories from as far back as middle school

Deleted them all without a backup or final tweet, haven’t regretted it for a second

@paul It‘s a shame how Elmo is treating you guys and your work…
@paul I went with the classic Bob Barker sign off…
@paul it would certainly be the most satisfying.
@paul My only reason for not outright deleting my account is so someone else doesn’t take over my user name.
@paul I gutted both of my accounts of all content, DMs, and followers/following using Semiphemeral.
Both have kept their Bird handles to prevent impersonation, and have been renamed to my Mastodon addresses with a Mastodon icon for the profile pic.
Both are in cold lockdown as dead, empty birds.
I don't visit or click on Birdsite.
Period.

@paul
I've been an very happy TweetBot user for ten years.
Thanks for all the work you put into this.
The demise of the blue vulture is a messy affair and I wish it would just threaten Elon's business and not innocent third parties like you, who made Twitter at least technically bearable.

I look forward to the next ten years with Ivory though! So let's hope the elephantine side of things keeps growing. 💜

@paul Just a quick 👋 to say I’m so deeply sorry that you and @mark are forced to deal with those horrors from Twitter. The nightmare of not knowing what step to take next, because you and your customer base are being kept in the dark. It gives me goosebumps in a bad way. I hope you’re hanging in there. Sending good vibes from across the pond.

PS as soon as you release Ivory, I’m subscribing for sure (and chase you about accessibility 😉).

@paul I still wonder about the wisdom of deleting the account. It might be low risk, but impersonation is still a possibility. (Of course, nothing actually prevents Twitter from disabling the account anyway and offering it to the highest bidder, but still.)
@paul I haven’t stopped yet but I think it would be interesting to see what is the last tweet you see in Tweetbot. Mine is really ironic !
@paul I posted a couple times to let people know I was leaving, where to find me, and that i would start removing people I had on other media. I’ve locked it, and check in from time to time to look for new socials as the realisation dawns on folks that the party is over.
@paul Being on this Ivory beta is making me feel back at home fortunately! Cancelled my Feb 4 sub and will sub up on Ivory as soon as you guys launch it. I only hate that I have only 16 of 250+ on Twitter here so far. Hope they all start migrating soon..
@paul mine appears to be have ended up being a link to my mastodon profile. Didn’t think that would be it but qué séra ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@paul this is how it ends, not with a bang, but a whimper
@paul The best thing is to promote #Ivory. Thanks for giving me such a good Twitter experience over the years with #Tweetbot 🙏🏻
@paul I was able to sign back in on Tweetbot, it’s working now. Not seeing anyone mentioning it, sorry if this is already well known.
@shinratdr @paul Same for me ! I had to re-authorize it, but it's working. Until when ? :/
@chris @paul Honestly, who knows. Could die again in 5 minutes, or 10 years. Could have been a direct order from Elon, or just some departing angry employee re-enabling them. It’s all up in the air, I hate this version of Twitter.
@paul i just found out that Tweetbot is able to connect again (needs new auth) did you do something for that?

@ComPod @paul

Same for me too. Had to sign in again and it’s working fine now.

@Vik @paul fine *) I’m seeing rate-limits
@paul people are claiming on Twitter that they’re able to sign in but I tried on my iPhone and I can’t.
@paul “This Twitter account will self-destruct in five seconds.“
@paul wait final release of Ivory and I will delete my twitter account. I will loose informations from some twitter accounts while they are not on Mastodon but I don’t care. Don’t wanna use official twitter client. Tweetbot or nothing. And with Reddit I will have all the useful tech info I need.
@paul I went with “Bye”, and left it very unambiguous.
@jeffkibuule @paul I went with just delete account and no tweet.
@paul Inlove the first one. 😄🐬
Robert Petersen (Join Mastodon!) on Twitter

“Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again https://t.co/ZdK1vSFEMv”

Twitter
@paul "the truth is i never loved you"
@paul maybe “AngerTwitter” can be more appropriate 😄
@paul as of yesterday mine is: “This account is no longer in active use.” Pinned.
@paul “Look what you made me do.”
@paul well how about a final hurrah and burn those extra API keys on Tweetbot 😈
@paul “Access revoked? You don’t know the meaning of the words ‘access revoked’.”

@paul

For me is was an Irish good-bye...

@paul
To quote the master:

If life transcends death

Then I will seek for you there

If not, then there too

@paul don’t give them a “final tweet”. They’re not worth it anymore🙂
@paul the great Douglas Adam’s 👏🏾👏🏾
@paul have you contacted apple about it? i mean - folks paid for your app, apple took their commission and now twitter blocks the usage. it can not be in apples interest as well, to get customers hurt by twitters caprice
@paul I posted this. It seemed apt.
@paul “don’t cry for me, Algorithm”
@paul already missing that little bird on my screen. More than 10 years. It made Twitter palatable. Can’t wait to see what Tapbots has in store with Ivory.
@paul I went with "Last tweet".

@paul regardless, much ♥️ to you and Tapbots.

Great job at having @ivory in an already-releasable state, as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully it will allow us to provide you more cash soon.
