For what it’s worth, you will find me more active on Mastodon at https://t.co/U1Q2OS0E8A than here. The automated tools will continue to repost content.

Godspeed, Twitter.

This is likely the last tweet you will see from me. I attempted to post a link to a story from @TheMarkup ("Tax Filing Websites Have Been Sending Users’ Financial Information to Facebook") and Twitter is rejecting it.

[Peter Murray @DataG]

I can't tell if the problem is with The Markup link itself or the link to the @hypothes_is annotation tool's "via" service. Either way, I'm done with Twitter and have now disabled the crossposting function.
