I could take the widget down, but if I end up replacing it with Gab, I'm only going to put the whole thing back up again. What I may do is keep the allotted space itself where it is, title and all, but replace the widget's HTML with some tag like "Under Construction" or something. At least until I know whether I've actually become a Gab member.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-35130267901429089872016-12-15T09:24:42.536+09:002016-12-15T09:24:42.536+09:00The page may be gone, but the link to "Infern...The page may be gone, but the link to "Infernal Shrieking" is still present in the sidebar.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-47138380013609640912016-12-14T22:50:23.468+09:002016-12-14T22:50:23.468+09:00Mike,

It's a pretty retarded strategy, one must concede. At the same time, many social-media firms are likely to take a massive hit once our current stock-market bubble begins to deflate (or burst spectacularly). And it most certainly will, mark my words.<br /><br />We are entering an entirely new social, civilizational and global paradigm. Thanks largely to the Internet, people are starting to wake up and realize that we have been living in a progressive dream or fantasy for the past several decades. Humankind is out of balance with the natural world, with the natural order of countless millennia. A massive correction is both inevitable and quite necessary, lest the entire world implode upon itself. I fear it may already be too late to reverse the damage, but one must try nonetheless.

The site does warn you, when you embark on the deactivation, that you can re-open your account within 30 days, but after that time, the account will be permanently deleted. I suppose that's a good bit of marketing, from Twitter's perspective, as it catches many of the people experiencing "quitter's remorse."<br /><br />So Twitter is really offering a deactivate-then-delete procedure, I reckon. By mid-January, my presence there will have been erased.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-74334806380557392052016-12-14T06:05:54.006+09:002016-12-14T06:05:54.006+09:00Twittercide.

I just checked and it seems that your page is still there, but has trouble resolving and times out. I suspect you deleted and the system is slowly purging you out...<br /><br />What happens if someone comes around and takes the old @bighominid handle? What about your brand dude! There could be imposters out there before you know it!<br /><br />Perhaps *I* shall become the virtual squatter on the old handle! Your identity shall me mine!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
