Les Orchard

Happy anniversary to my last post on Twitter!

Haven't quite been able to get around to deleting the account, but it's been 17 years and I felt a bit conflicted. Kinda miss the old place, but the past year of fuckery certainly hasn't drawn me back.

Funny seeing the almost weekly "is it finally time to leave" posts from various folks. It's like watching a frog boil itself in a mall food court.

Anyway, I'm hoping for good things on the fediverse, and also hoping folks don't all pile into one semi-abandoned warehouse / shopping mall again for all their Discourse.

Welp, my account's days here are numbered. Was just going to let it languish but they'll take care of it for me.

@lmorchard My account is still present, but only because I don't want some dishpit claiming the handle.

If they delete all inactive accounts, that's okay.

@mwl Yeah, pretty much the same for me, I'm kinda squatting my own handle

@lmorchard @mwl same here. I'd be so annoyed if someone used it to sell crypto or "ai" apps.

@lmorchard It's taken me a year... but this past week I've started to not sign into my main Twitter account and started curating my feed here in the Fediverse.

Maybe you can teach a frog new tricks.

@lmorchard I also haven't actually deleted my account, but I unfollowed everyone and set it private. I leave it there so some nazi doesn't take my name. I keep wanting to delete my actual tweets but that's a lot of work.
