I fully expect my personal website to outlive Twitter and as such have decided to take full ownership of the content I’ve posted there. In true IndieWeb fashion, I’m taking ownership of my data.
@zatnosk @jeroenpraat Funnily enough I've come around on this as well over the years. I think local/federated timelines create a lot of issues.
