We're about to release @cyd.social for iPhone and Android, making it easy to backup and delete your Bluesky data, except for what you want to keep! Want to beta test? Read this and fill out the form before March 16 if you're interested nextcloud.lockdown.systems/apps/forms/s...

Three days ago, we finally got around to archiving and purging our Xitter account. Start to finish, the process took just under two and a half days. That was 18 years worth of data, consisting of 12,000+ tweets, retweets, likes, and DMs. Thanks to @cyd.social for making the task so easy.

Guess what? I’ve been slowly but surely working on a @cyd.social mobile app with support for basically making your Bluesky account ephemeral. It’s not ready yet, but as I test I’m going to start deleting my old posts, reposts, likes, and chats (chat messages in my account, anyway)

Also shout out to @cyd.social for making it easy and able to do so locally on my machine rather than depend on a cloud service.

We used @cyd.social to delete around 100k tweets this week. The platform makes it easy to migrate your old content here, too.

One click away...

Also as part of my "decluttering my life and purging what I don't need anymore" weekend, I ran this yesterday and finally deleted all my old tweets on the bad site. Felt good!

We finally got off the dime and used @cyd.social to delete our 100K or so posts over on X. You should too. (We're still there with a placeholder to prevent username squatting.)

If you're not already off Twitter/X? Try @cyd.social. Easy to migrate your old posts here.

Started X erasure process with @cyd.social 😏

@cyd.social hey shout out! Just found out about you guys, love that people can move their old posts from X to Bluesky!

In 1941, Linotype updated this booklet as “The Readability of Type” and added 1937–1941 to the table. (This is a reply to an archived post from 2016. We just migrated everything from X using the wonderful @cyd.social and will finally archive our account there.)

Love @cyd.social! The work migration tools like Cyd have done is what inspired Bounce. Graph-matching is such a great way to work around closed networks and solve the cold start problem.

Time for my annual Get Out tweet. Feels like a lost cause at this point but anyway …

@cyd.social is such a nifty tool. It’s rad to watch its creators dig into the details. Even radder to witness a team of hackers get together and build something so antithetical to corporate tech.

If you haven’t heard of @cyd.social and discovered how to claw back your data this is an excellent intro.

Another pitch for using @cyd.social to download a full archive of your content, delete it all, and then delete your account.

Good morning, Day 1. I deleted Twitter last night. But before doing that I used Cyd @cyd.social to delete all my posts. Cyd works great, highly recommend it. Hooray for Cyd, that they built their app. #FuckElon #Twitter #socialmediaisasocialdisease #orwellian

I reviewed the Tesla Diner, congrats to me on my new career as a food critic

i found a free way to delete all of your tweets in one go. 10/10 would recommend @cyd.social. there's a paid version to migrate all of your tweets to bluesky, remove all of your likes, and unfollow everyone but the free version works very well. takes about a day to get your data archive. cyd.social

Doing a the heavy lift of importing my old twitter history dating back to 2007 to Bluesky using @cyd.social … actually it’s not that heavy at all.

Cyd 1.1.12 released! X changed how it works, which broke Cyd. This fixes it again docs.cyd.social/blog/cyd-1.1...
