Tech platforms can't be trusted. It's time to regain control of your data with Cyd. This tool allows you to backup and delete all of your tweets, likes, direct messages, and other data from X, and migrate them to Bluesky.
Key Features:
- Backup Your Data: Save a searchable copy of your data from tech platforms locally on your computer.
- Delete Your Data: Delete your tweets, likes, direct messages, and other data from X.
- Migrate Your Data: Migrate your tweets from closed platforms like X into open platforms like Bluesky.
- Private and Secure: Cyd runs directly on your computer, not on our servers. We don't have access to any of your accounts, or to any of the data in them.
- Enshittification-Proof: Cyd doesn't rely on third-party APIs from hostile tech platforms like X and Facebook.
- Open Source: Cyd is open source software developed by Lockdown Systems Collective for the social good. The code is available on GitHub.
Starting today, Cyd can migrate your old tweets directly into Bluesky! This way you can delete everything from your X account but still have a place to reference your old posts.
How It Works:
- Cyd will migrate any tweet as long as it's not a retweet or a reply to another user on X.
- All of your images and videos will be preserved.
- X's t.co link tracking will be removed from your posts on Bluesky.
- Self-replies will stay intact, which means your old Twitter threads will turn into new Bluesky threads.
- Your old tweets will be backdated in Bluesky, so it will be clear when you actually made each post.
Just because you're quitting X doesn't mean your posts need to disappear.
