We’ll be breaking down our findings throughout this week, as well as sharing some of the fantastic text responses we received. (One of the perks of having a user base full of writers = an abundance of well-written insights 😇) Check out the full report over on our blog: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...

Humbled that our users wrote 500K words in this survey already! We're building a bunch of anti-gen AI/AI safety features and want to hear from you.

Soon... 👀📄

MAGA-controlled social media is doing the work of book bans by suppressing support for marginalized authors. If you haven’t seen much from us on TikTok this week, that’s why. Our recent post celebrating and supporting Trans Day of Visibility was shadowbanned. 🧵👇

Missing those "ARRRGHHHH I LOVE THIS SM. I NEED MORE 😱" comments when sharing your Ellipsus writing? Oh boy, do we have news for you! Introducing: Reader Comments!

Hey everyone—the coast is clear. Our iconic developers have resolved the issue and Ellipsus should now be working as normal. Thank you for your patience!

Hey all, a recent update caused a temporary issue with the synchronizer today. We're working on the fix now - to stay updated, check out the service page here: status.ellipsus.com

And some fun stuff... Document zoom is now available on desktop and mobile! 🔎 You can access zoom on desktop from document settings, the bottom bar, or left sidebar - and mobile from the top bar. You can also use hotkeys: ⌘ + / − to zoom in or out ⌃ ⌥ B to show or hide the bottom bar

Your writing, your rules. The Ellipsus Reader features built-in copy-text controls, so you can share your work with peace of mind.

We don't want AI-generated stories. We want stories that are beautiful and weird. Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us. We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail. We don't want soulless slop. We want work *written* by HUMANS.

Shoutout to everyone who’s been valiantly escaping the AI-riddled hellworlds of Google Docs and Microsoft Word. 🙏 Now, you can make your exit from the LLM-industrial-productivity-complex a lot faster. Introducing… .docx import and export!!

We’ve just released a new way to share your work, Ellipsus fam... Introducing: the Reader! It’s is a dedicated public sharing mode with formatting designed specifically for your audience.

You asked… you yearned… Ready to derail your WIP emotionally - two new Valentine’s themes are here for Theme Thursday! 💗 True valentine (light mode) 🖤 Orchid noir (dark mode) Soft or ruinous; your choice. - the Ellipsus Team xo 💌

While OpenAI, Anthropic, and X's Grok have dominated headlines in the 'AI race' thanks to numerous scandals, Google Gemini has flown relatively under the radar…🧵

Next #ThemeThursday, pick your trope: 💗 We’re pretending it’s platonic (it is not) 🖤 This will end badly (and we both know it) Choose your emotional devastation. Coming soon! 💌

We like to think Ellipsus is... versatile 😆

Google claims they don't sell your personal data—and technically that's true: they don't sell raw data. Rather, they sell predictions of your behavior fashioned from your data. From its war on privacy, to data extraction: surveillance capitalism started with Google.

"As political norms continue to erode, taking regulatory capabilities down with them, the question isn’t if Big Tech will cave on privacy commitments—but when, how much, and at whose expense… But there's good news—we can leave." #deGoogle #antiai

Hey all! We had a brief hiccup with the synchroniser earlier today, but it’s been resolved. Ellipsus stores your work locally in your browser, so your writing should be a-ok. If you’re having trouble opening the tool, please reach out to support and we'll get on it right away.

"At the end of the day, the gap between what Google says and what it does—its brazen violations of its own policies; its freedom to unilaterally change its terms and conditions; […] its sneaky attempts to opt you in to data-scraping initiatives—makes real privacy on their platforms impossible."

"Once upon a time, Google 'wasn't evil.' Now it's too big not to be. When a company has this much power—too embedded to boycott, too rich to punish, too essential to regulate—it becomes a monster of itself, mowing down anything that stands in the way of profit." 🧵👇

Best ad for Ellipsus that I have EVER seen ellipsus.com I switched to it about 8/9 months ago and I don't regret it at all (and honestly the character limit here won't let me praise their progressive stances enough)

www.huffpost.com/entry/opt-ou... Here we go again 🙄 Google has granted itself access to your private messages & attachments on Gmail to train its AI models. Here's how to turn it off. 👇

2026 will be remembered as the year when the human resistance got organized. 🧵👇

www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... Sure, AI can mimic us (sometimes to a scary degree)—but mimicry does not valuable writing make. 🧵👇

‘Tis the season for avoiding your relatives while furiously typing your yuletide fic on your phone, using family drama as real-time reference material, and decking your doc’s halls with so many festive em dashes...

You asked, we made 'em: Defend the Em Dash stickers, new tote bags that tell the world you write like a human, cozy sweatshirts and winter beanies, and more. Support your favorite local writing tool this holiday season. (And stick a few FCK GPTs in places Santa won’t look. 🫣 ) merch.ellipsus.com

Because we all have Wrapped fatigue (… and because we don’t track your every move, unlike some tools 👀), we've put together some predictions for 2026. (Or at least, a few New Years wishes we'd love to see come true)

Disney is renowned for aggressively punishing IP infringements—now it happily sells licenses to Open AI. What gives? 🧵

www.artshub.com.au/news/opinion... The thing is, short of consulting the metadata, there's really no way to tell what's gen-AI and what's not. Trying to 'sniff out' gen-AI like this is problematic at best; at worst, it does harm to writers 🧵👇 [1/10]

‼️ Attention US writers/creators—Section 203 is under attack (again) and needs your help.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

fixed it. #defendtheemdash

Ho ho ho! We’ve left a few gifts under the Ellipsus tree... 🌌 Aura: An aurora borealis gradient to light up the long dark night. 🥂 Fête: A sparkly fizzy champagne gradient. 🎄 Jolly: Classic ugly sweater red-and-green. ❄️ Icicle: Brrr! Frosted winter wonderland blues. Haaaappy #ThemeThursday! 🎁

Shadow-banned on X for talking about the broligarchs. Just another Tuesday 🥱

Happy birthday @meredithmeredith.bsky.social The only person I would quit my job to work for 😝 Thank you for your relentless and intelligent advocacy for peace, people, and privacy. 📸: Slush 2025

ellipsus.com/blog/the-end... In our latest blog post, we look back to last September… when #NaNoWriMo (at least, the org) spontaneously imploded following its endorsement of generative AI. #anti-ai #writers

#manifesto #anti-ai #writer

😮‍💨

It’s coming... ThemeThursday! Four versions of the future we were promised (+ the one we’re writing ourselves). ⛓️‍💥 Wasteland - the poetry of ruin. 🫧 Aero - a shiny glint of optimism. 💾 Retrograde - the computer room, and one overly helpful paperclip. ❤️ Kudos - iykyk. Check em out next week!

Just reminder when you pop the hood of the internet this is what you'll see: 🐍🐍🐍

That is always my hack, too ;)

I can help with that 📲 ellipsus.typeform.com/mobile-beta

1) We want our free plan to be comparable to GDocs long-term (unlimited docs, drafts, collaborators, words) 2) No Gen AI. 3) We’re trying to get chapters in this fall! 📚 FWIW I love writing in notebooks.

made this after a discussion about ellipsus' new themes in the ellipsus server. tiermaker.com/categories/r... if you also use ellipsus, i'd love to see how you'd rank them.

Theme Thursday y'all!

You can now set a password for your Ellipsus account—no more digging for login codes in your inbox every time you sign in. Code login is still around if you prefer it, but this update makes it way faster (and easier!) to jump back into your writing. Set whatever weird password your heart desires.

BLESS THE ELLIPSUS TEAM GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND 🙌🙌🙌🙌
