egg cooking on the side of the interstate call that an omelette du frontage

it’s no secret that Twitter has been rapidly losing its luster over the past year, to the point where the site has become frustrating to use, and my social media presence there has become challenging to maintain. as a result, i have begun winding down my use of the site, with intent to close down all presence on Twitter by the end of the year.

what exactly will this process look like?

• i have begun closing down my side accounts, effective immediately. if you’re familiar with these side accounts, you can find almost all of them on Tumblr or Bluesky instead (Mastodon alternatives also in the works).
• NowUKnowGaming has always used an automated crossposter, and as such will remain on Twitter as long as it is economical to keep the crossposter running. you can also find alternative sites for NUKG on its front page @ nowuknowgaming.com.
• as for my main Twitter account @skysometric, i intend to wind down all original posts there over the coming months. my only remaining presence on that account will be from an automated crossposter with links to all my new blogposts, videos, and livestreams. by the end of the year i will lock my account entirely, and my bio will be set to redirect people to my links page. at this time, i do not intend to delete my account.

as for what you can do to help…

• if you would like to keep following me, you can follow me here on Tumblr or use my links page to follow me on another social media site. thank you for your continued support!
• if a site is not listed on my links page, i might still have an account there (@skysometric everywhere), but i make no guarantees for whether i will maintain that account.
• i still refuse to use anything owned by Meta, so no Facebook, Instagram, or Threads. sorry!
• if all else fails, i’m on discord. i’m sure you can guess my username!

finally, i would like to mention that there will be no loss of data from deprecating my Twitter account – i have downloaded backups of my accounts and i will be making a public Twitter archive site using that data! these accounts have a lot of important and meaningful personal history, so i want to preserve that legacy in the most respectful way i know how… with web design, of course 💖

by the time i deprecate my Twitter account, it will be about ten years old – so thanks for sticking with me for all this time, and i’ll see you on the other side of wherever we all choose to end up!

hey remember when i made that corrupted level generator for Mari0? my friend and fellow Mari0 mapper @britdan decided to torture himself with it for clicks
