Deedy's Best Tweets

Twitter is the de facto outlet for my thoughts. Facebook is dead. Instagram is for pictures. TikTok is for video. Youtube is high-effort. Reddit opinions aren’t backed by legitmacy. Blogs are too long. Unfortunately, Twitter is ephemeral and doesn’t allow users to capture all their best hits over time.

I used their API to mine a list offline. I tweet about tech, AI, business, immigration, India, humor and fitness. I’ve tried to tweet once a day since early 2020.

This list was last updated Jan 21, 2024 with approx ~57.7K followers and originally published on Aug 15, 2022. You can find a more live version of this list by searching [from:debarghya_das min_faves:100 -filter:replies] on the Latest tab of Twitter, but it does drop tweets. I try to update this list often, but do it manually.
