Before Twitter goes down, I want to remind you that the real treasure is *you*, and the friends we all made along the way.

Also shout out to @yonderboy, @noopkat, @rob_caporetto, @tyronotron, @palegoldenrod, and the other Melbourne Twitter Underground Brigade #MTUB crew, whom have been around for the start and now what looks like the end of an era. ❤️

Although the website doesn't seem to suggest one can get a 5th booster, so we'll see how I go...

The Australian experience of the internet is that you wake up and the internet happened overnight, and you quickly read it and then go on with your day.
I don’t know how the rest of you get anything done when the internet is on all day.

I know this is playing into stereotypes, but I just discovered that I (a white, middle-aged techbro, who is enthusiastic about cast iron cookware and baked a lot of bread during lockdown) am vitamin D deficient.

Lol, the only ads I now get on $8chan are from other companies owned by Elno. I guess no other advertisers are willing to go anywhere near this chaos.

it is demoralizing to know that you are a website's product but really energizing to know that you can be a really terrible product

Seriously y'all, it takes a couple of days between requesting your data and it being available, and who knows what state $8chan will be in by then.
Go download your Twitter data now.

Please put your booby-tooth¹ handle in your display name, info page, or pinned tweet. It makes you so much easier to find.
Recently I've only been coming to Twitter to join in the collective ridicule of billionaires.

When people ask me for examples of "Why are you so disillusioned with tech?"

I wound up meeting with a Director who came in huffing and puffing.
The Director said “We should know when users leave their house, their commute to work, and everywhere they go throughout the day. Anything less is useless. We get a lot more than that from other tech companies.”

The entire thread is an extremely plausible and relatable tale, and I'm so proud of everyone who has stood up and said "no" to their employer over increasing invasions of privacy.

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.
