I cannot emphasize enough how much we should all get the fuck off of X. This includes every politician and progressive group.

There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

In July 2025 we started the ICE Detention Map project to show ICE's reported detention centers. This data came from public records shared by ICE. But since April 9th 2026, ICE stopped sharing this data, entirely. Read more about what happened here: lockdown.systems/fragile-dhs-...

Starting in July 2025, we ran a project called ICEWatch that displayed data on detentions. It simply downloaded data that ICE was already publishing and rendered it on a map. Facility by facility, you...

Just reposting this because I want to keep it top-of-mind for when it becomes available for iOS. This and a proper bulk remove follower tool would be great for the user experience on this app, especially since we’ll probably never get privacy controls on ATProto.

I used @cyd.social to delete most my posts, but I has an option to leave behind the bangers (I had very few bangers)

Cyd 1.1.22 is released! This fixes a few bugs (including a big one that was preventing people from logging into new X accounts), and adds a bunch of code quality improvements. See more at cyd.social/blog/cyd-1.1...

Cyd 1.1.22 released | Cyd

We're pleased to announce Cyd 1.1.22 is released. There's a lot of new code in this release that is still hidden behind feature flags, so you won't be able to use it quite yet.

I helped a tiny bit finding bugs in the iOS beta and it is a great piece of software helping y’all keep your posting history tidy (or sane). Highly recommend.

We're super excited to announce Cyd for Mobile--Android for now, and soon iOS. It lets you back up and delete your old Bluesky posts, likes, and other data, while leaving what you actually want people to see when they look up your account.

Yeah. I'm using Cyd:

I downloaded an app that is, even as I speak, going back through my X account and deleting all my old tweets. More than 75,000 of them, apparently. It has to be done but it still makes me sad. I still miss old Twitter. It was a big part of my life for a long time & nothing has replaced it.

We're getting ready to release Facebook support for @cyd.social! Want to beta test it? Read this and fill out the form by this weekend if you're interested nextcloud.lockdown.systems/apps/forms/s...

Yes! I used @cyd.social! I had already downloaded a local copy of my data, so when I used the free account to delete all my tweets it was VERY fast. And I had a LOT of tweets from years of use.

If you want to delete your old tweets and keep the bangers, I strongly recommend the @cyd.social premium plan. It was well worth the 35 bucks.

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)
