GET AWAY FROM MUSK IN ANY FORM! LEAVE NOW!

It's fun building up Blue Sky and taking down X. Try it and you'll see.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

Now I've got three people I pay attention to over at Blue Sky Social, plus Tao Lin. Could be you too--follow me there @thisdirect.bsky.social.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

Moving to Blue Sky Social, slowly but surely. Follow me @thisdirect.bsky.social and I will follow you back.

Got twitter data; next step, search for content I need a record of.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

Started the process of removal from this venue; request for archive is in, then I will archive as much of garbage concerning me from 2019 and other moments as I can. And then I will leave.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

First step is to archive all tweets. That can take several days. I will begin the process tonight. I fully intend to leave this space and move elsewhere.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

@Hermagoras I need to get going on this. Musk doesn't get any more of my content.

[Barrett Watten @barrettwatten]

After this election, and the intervention by the owner of this venue, it's important to find an alternative. I'll be working to take my account down as soon as I figure out how to save the content. You should too--then?

It's like this: you may have a terrible disease or you may not. Whether you know the diagnosis, the underlying reality is the same. We are only waiting on the test. Tonight we get the results. (posted 11/5)
