Danny is back on Twitter.
And this was one of his first tweets:
If you're on Twitter, follow Danny. It will be worth it.

Great to see him back!!
Correct….
Any chance of seeing his words without the nasty stink of Musk?
No
Sorry
In the old days before Elon Stalin, you could read Twitter and not have to sign in. Now of course, it’s impossible so I’ll miss this but I wish he blogged somewhere else to be honest.
Hi PSR. 😉
Fortunately some enterprising diversity has grown up in the Internets’ Ecosystem. 😉
nitter.net allows to view posts on Twitter postings without having to log in, and also adds the useful features of search and choice of threaded view with comments.
Just search for the user you are interested in here:
https://nitter.net/search
… in this case resulting in:
so: https://nitter.net/search?f=users&q=D_Blanchflower
finding:
https://nitter.net/dblanchflower
Which seems to have no posts, which seems wrong for a ‘restored’ account which claims to have ‘Joined June 2009’
I guess YMMV!
Its a free service, so I don’t know who / how / if anyone adjudicates over username wrangles.
Much as I would like to read what he has to say, nothing but a change of ownership will persuade me back to the dead bird site.
There are alternatives. Surely principles matter?
Twitter will survive him.
And I use lots of companies I don’t like
That’s what monopoly forces on us
