I deleted thousands of tweets from X with this new tool – for free [Video]

Cyd

Social media users increasingly seek ways to regain control of their digital data. As platforms like X (formerly Twitter) become less popular, many users turn to alternatives such as Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon. This shift has created a growing desire for users to change their social media presence by starting fresh or leaving platforms altogether.

In response to this need, Micah Lee, the creator of an earlier tool called Semiphemeral, has developed a new tool for Windows, Mac, and Linux called Cyd. Unlike Semiphemeral, which depended on costly web-based API access, Cyd bypasses the API, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for deleting tweets, likes, direct messages, and follows.

With its official release, Cyd empowers users to take control of their data, while also planning to support additional platforms in the future.
