This isn't a huge sacrifice since I've never been much of a tweeter, but I think I'm gonna jump on the hasta-la-vista-twitter bandwagon. I'll be over at tfos.co, continuing to tinker with better ways of doing social media.

also I may have broken the Twitter integration by accident
I'll take a look at that later today if I feel like it
I've added a Mastodon integration to yakread.com, so you can get your tweets and toots all in one place. There are chronological and algorithmic timelines, up to you.
