I have to say that my attitude changed from kinda forgiving that people still post to Twitter to "are they nuts?" no kinda of attention, regardless whether they perceive that as conversation between 'friends' or just as 'moar clicks' is worth keeping that shithole alive

@rotnroll666 I selfishly wanted to keep an archive of my history there, and 4000+ followers "just in case", so I kept the account for a long time without posting anything new. I finally admitted there had already been no actual benefit to that strategy in the last 2 years, and deleted the account a bit over a month ago.

@sanityinc I deleted all my content first, in hope it costs them some money and it may have actually been deleted via github.com/lucahammer/tweetXer

Account has been locked for a while now, and will be deleted next year.

My local archive is good enough. I have had an app running that archived everything, in a better format than the archive you can get.

Also these days ordering new cars from Tesla?! What the flip? Some local acquaintances did this and I am still not over it. No, I don't expect anyone to burn their car or something, but buying new? As if there aren't good alternatives in 2024.
