@samuelpepys And if anyone wants to use Mastodon but is confused by anything (which is very possible, it's not just you) then @ me and I'll help wherever I can.
One week's notice. No news about costs or who pays or how. Come on, it's barely even a 🧵
So I'll probably close the @samuelpepys account with its 70,800 followers after all these years because this place is run by a psycho who everyone here is encouraging by staying. twitter.com/TwitterDev/sta…
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

Sorry, @philgyford here. This news *might* mean @samuelpepys comes to an end in a week. It's not just the cost, but I've had it up to here with this place.
You can continue to follow on Mastodon mastodon.social/@samuelpepys or receive the diary via email buttondown.email/pepysdiary
