Leaving X / Twitter

1

Hi all,
Nice to see that TW is still alive an kicking. :slight_smile:

No longer active are my accounts on X / Twitter, where I used to update https://x.com/TiddlyWikiCH at least when new versions of TW were published.

As I have decided to leave the mostly toxic platform I would offer to anyone who sees any value in it to take over this TW related account.

Please let me know if you are the one, otherwise I will delete the account at the beginning of the upcoming new year.

Happy holidays and all the best to you and your loved ones for 2025 from snowy Switzerland,
Thomas

Happy to hear that as I “left” the platform since the Musk take over. My account is there, but I barely use it, as I’m now on Mastodon and Nostr. I have not deviced/deployed a migration plan to my new social media account. Have you though something about that, to let your audience know about your new social places?

Cheers,

Hi Offray, I found you on Mastodon and it should not be difficult to find me there either. (My handle is telmiger.)

Of course I made a backup of my tweets (download archive and import in a TW using the plugin Twitter Archivist).

Cheers, Thomas

I found you back and now I’m following you also.

I was unaware of the Twitter archivist plugin. Could you tell me more?

Before Twitter take over by Musk, we did a project to visualize political discourse in Twitter for the candidates to the presidential elections in Colombia. As usual, our backend was Pharo/GToolkit and our front end was TW. That was in the times when Nitter was functional and the report interface was done for print first. Having a Twitter archivist as a TW plugin could enable the HTML interface we lack, at lest for personal archival purposes, which I think would become common part of the so called eXodus, that has been increased after USA last elections.
