Back in 2012, I more or less left Twitter for App.net. Twitter had enacted several distasteful policies, and App.net looked like a fun experiment.
Two years later, it seemed like things were going great. But then we suddenly learned that App.net would be laying off its full-time employees and would receive no new features.
Most people jumped ship at that point, and I haven’t really used it since. But I have nearly two years of posts there. It’d be a shame if the App.net servers go dark one day and I haven’t archived my posts.
So that’s what I did. Since I now host my microblog on this site, I decided to just import them here. All post text, date, and images are preserved. Eg.
Is now a snippet here:
All 1200+ of my app.net posts are now available here as snippets. There are still some broken images from apps like Favd, and hopefully I’ll fix those before App.net breathes its last.
Update: I fixed all the Favd images.
Update: I downloaded my Twitter archive and imported all of my tweets to this site.
