Warren Currie 🦠🦐<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.luca.run/@luca" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>luca</span></a></span> very excited to finally purge my Twitter timeline. It was an excellent tool at the start for <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/scicomm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scicomm</span></a> 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. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xitter</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/byeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>byeTwitter</span></a></p>
Rob Cottingham<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>I can't remember if I tweeted it at the time. In a little while, it won't really matter if I did.</p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/byeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>byeTwitter</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/exX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exX</span></a></p>
Rob Cottingham<p>"So, Rob, how are you spending your Friday evening?"</p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/byeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>byeTwitter</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/exX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exX</span></a></p>
Kinky Kobolds<p>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.</p><p>As an added insult, once you're logged out, you no longer can edit those privacy settings, so you get opted into all the information sharing that Twitter wants to do. This is why we use uBlock in advanced mode: We can block <em>all</em> requests to Twitter and prevent them from accumulating data to sell in the first place.</p><p>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 <em>everything</em> on Bluesky (and, to a lesser extent, Mastodon) has us feeling like we're not gonna miss anything worth being worried about.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/ByeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ByeTwitter</span></a></p>
Wolf-Peter Schill<p>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. <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Xit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xit</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/byetwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>byetwitter</span></a></p>

Katja Evertz<p>Auf meiner Website habe ich einen Überblick, auf welchen Social-Media-Plattformen Ihr mich findet (<a href="https://www.katjaevertz.de/ueber-katja-evertz/vernetzen/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">katjaevertz.de/ueber-katja-eve</span><span class="invisible">rtz/vernetzen/</span></a>).</p><p>Heute habe ich Twitter rausgeschmissen.</p><p><a href="https://social.elbespace.de/tags/ByeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ByeTwitter</span></a></p>

Katja Evertz<p>Nach einer zweimonatigen Bluesky-Zwangspause stelle ich fest:</p><p>1. Dort ist jetzt deutlich mehr los.<br>2. Es fühlt sich doch sehr nach Twitter an.<br>3. Ich bin mir gar nicht sicher, ob ich das überhaupt noch so will.</p><p>Mastodon hingegen fühlt sich weiterhin anders und vor allem entspannter an.</p><p>Ich bleibe gespannt, wie sich das alles weiterentwickelt.</p><p><a href="https://social.elbespace.de/tags/ByeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ByeTwitter</span></a> <a href="https://social.elbespace.de/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.elbespace.de/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bluesky</span></a></p>
Kinky Kobolds<p>It's done. I've deleted the entirety of my Twitter history at this point by using <a href="https://redact.dev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Redact</a>. I won't accept <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/x-corp-s-new-privacy-policy-is-latest-to-put-ai-in-spotlight" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the updated terms of service that mean my posts could be fed to an AI.</a></p><p>I'll likely blank my icon nearer the end of the month. I don't even want my icon to be fed to an algorithm; the artists who've drawn for me deserve better than that. My profile will continue to exist solely to redirect people to better websites and to prevent someone from stealing the username for nefarious purposes.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/ByeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ByeTwitter</span></a></p>

Brian Jackson<p>Keeping my Twitter account so someone else can't grab the handle, but I logged out for the last time today. This is the best place to find me, it's such a warm and wonderful community here on Mastodon, at least in the sampling of those that interact with me and those I follow here. <a href="https://graphics.social/tags/ByeTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ByeTwitter</span></a></p>
