Hi, my name is Cyd! I can help you claw back your data from Big Tech, starting with deleting all your tweets for free. https://cyd.social

We used @cyd.social to delete around 100k tweets this week. The platform makes it easy to migrate your old content here, too.
NEW - in Unburdened

Users exploit Grok to add “blood and bruising” to pornographic deepfakes, even of children

Why are you using a platform that enables child nudity, digital assault, and the spread of antisemitic, transphobic, and other bigoted content?

Also as part of my "decluttering my life and purging what I don't need anymore" weekend, I ran this yesterday and finally deleted all my old tweets on the bad site. Felt good!

We finally got off the dime and used @cyd.social to delete our 100K or so posts over on X. You should too. (We're still there with a placeholder to prevent username squatting.)
Note that the sudden rise in "nudification" is not an advance in the tech itself, it's a design choice by Musk / xAI.

LMMs trained with nude images have been able to do this for years; Grok is the first time a major company has chosen to enhance this functionality for users rather than restrict it.
The “put her in a bikini” trend began quietly at the end of last year before exploding at the start of 2026. Within days, hundreds of thousands of requests were being made to the Grok chatbot, asking it to strip the clothes from photographs of women.

If you're not already off Twitter/X? Try @cyd.social. Easy to migrate your old posts here.
Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

In 1941, Linotype updated this booklet as “The Readability of Type” and added 1937–1941 to the table.

(This is a reply to an archived post from 2016. We just migrated everything from X using the wonderful @cyd.social and will finally archive our account there.)

@cyd.social is such a nifty tool. It’s rad to watch its creators dig into the details. Even radder to witness a team of hackers get together and build something so antithetical to corporate tech.

Another pitch for using @cyd.social to download a full archive of your content, delete it all, and then delete your account.
Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now
what even happened on the other site this time

Good morning,

Day 1.

I deleted Twitter last night. But before doing that I used Cyd @cyd.social to delete all my posts. Cyd works great, highly recommend it.
Hooray for Cyd, that they built their app.
