Seeing this happening a lot now. I deactivated three accounts I had over there too.

Congratulations, and welcome.

beernouveau.co.uk•102 days ago

I've been here a while, since invite only 🤣 Just finally cutting ties with that other place. Too much toxicity.

amberite.bsky.social•102 days ago

Cool. Sad it has to happen, but so glad it exists here. Feels a bit like 2009 again.

beernouveau.co.uk•102 days ago

Yeah, it really feels like a rewind. But knowing what might got wrong. So a bit like those inevitable time loop episodes of every sci-fi show these days, where someone knows what's gonna happen, and tries to stop it 🤣

Great analogy!

I might also keep account (locked) as a final f you (I know it'll be a fraction of a cent a year to them to have on a server but still.....

mellisr1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Did you archive and delete tweets first? I wasn't going to bother (didn't tweet that much) but given terms change (today I think) to let them train ai on your content, I thought fuck them and that guy...... There's a way of doing it on a browser for free. You may have done already though.....

beernouveau.co.uk•103 days ago

I archieved, didn't realise deleting was separate from deactivating.

mellisr1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Ah, that saves me so bother then 😃

mellisr1.bsky.social•103 days ago

However, if you want to keep the handle or leave a pinned tweet directing them to here, or just don't trust them....

I'm done with it. I like it here, it suits me.

mellisr1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Me too. I am (was) never a big tweeter and have no work linked stuff. I like it here and my account can die and be done with. I guess some folk would worry about their username being repurposed but not me.... It's blue skies now for foreseeable

mellisr1.bsky.social•103 days ago

I don't know if they basically still have access to content even if locked. Seems a simple ish process ..

beernouveau.co.uk•103 days ago

Auto-deletes 30 days after deactivation.
I just checked.

emmavictory.bsky.social•102 days ago

Nice!

whatsmellslikeblue.bsky.social•102 days ago

Can't say I blame you! I don't anticipate being on there for much longer, either.

It’s the only way

annpettifor.bsky.social•102 days ago

Welcome and well done..

beernouveau.co.uk•102 days ago

I've been here a while, but thanks 🤣

I think I was in the first 1 million, or just outside it. It's weird that it's now busy 🤣

demelo.bsky.social•102 days ago

I can’t bring myself to deactivate yet, but I remember the feeling when deleting FB because of the toxic content, seems mild now compared to Twitter.

beernouveau.co.uk•102 days ago

I've still got my FB account, but really only because it's the only way I keep in contact with some family, and it does have some traction for the business side of things. But not much.

Twitter though, was pure adverts, bots, and nuts.

darkwolf666.bsky.social•102 days ago

Took mine down yesterday. No regrets from me. Leave the lunatics to their asylum!
