    @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

    @samuelpepys @philgyford I can’t believe I’ve spent part of my day crying over bots I will miss. Thank you for all the love and effort over the years in bringing Sam to life for us.

    Thanks to everyone who runs useful bot accounts which will close in the next few days, but especially to @samuelpepys @philgyford who will be sadly missed.
