Bye Twitter

I’ve deactivated my Twitter account.

Twitter didn’t like it, you get unceremoniously dumped out of the service with an error message. All your tweets disappear. Like you weren’t welcome anyway, social media with a nasty streak.

The problem with Twitter is that there’s only space for black/white arguments and replies. It harms compassion and collaboration. It’s algorithms are optimised for making money, not your wellbeing.

Let’s go make something beautiful instead with all the time saved!

Twelete 1.0

Delete your old tweets with Twelete, my new release https://github.com/svandragt/twelete.

Tweets are temporary messages, and thus others should not keep your tweets. You have the right to be forgotten, without paying for the privilege.

Set this up on a cheap VPS; Raspberry PI, or locally. Feedback welcome!
