title: Welcome to the @ewagoner Twitter archive
---

I was an early adopter of Twitter, going back to when its main interface was via SMS. Somehow it managed to completely replace all the writing I was doing on my blog, something I had been doing for nearly a decade.

The Musk takeover made me realize I needed to reclaim my words and my online presence. The way he turned it into a (not so) proverbial Nazi bar made me realize I couldn't be in both places.

But damned if he was going to have all my words, so I took them with me. Here, you can search my tweets, get a link to an archived version, and view all the content in a nice, threaded form where applicable. This does not include replies to other people, so this is just "standalone" tweets and threads.
