Testimonial Tweets (Twestimonials?)
Thanks for digging this deeply. Here are a few Tweets some of my former colleagues posted when they heard I was leaving Twitter.
I must admit, it was a bit much and I went through a lot of tissues reading these and many more.

This is the end of an era for Twitter. Stephen advocated for good as hard as he could for as long as he could. you'd be smart to pick him up.

This is TOO much to bear today @F6x. In all seriousness, you are a #TwitterForGood champion for the ages. I will miss you so much. I cringe to think about breaking this news to 826 Valencia. Wishing you godspeed and I will be all up in your timeline from now on!

Your perspective, intelligence, and commitment to helping Twitter be the best product and place it could be will be severely missed. #oneteam4ever 💙

You made Twitter better, one word at a time. You carried so much work with grace and thoughtfulness. Even after I left Twitter, I still mention your CS office hour with other writers as a wonderful example for collaborations. Congrats and best wishes!

I never met someone who loved working at Twitter more than you did. As a very smart, kind, funny man once told me: “‘You will be missed’ is bullshit—it’s passive for fuck’s sake! And it doesn’t even come close to conveying the enormous hole you are going to leave in this place.”

Absolutely gutted. Your passion, integrity, selflessness and positivity set a high bar for the rest of us. I hope we get to work together again in the future - maybe even with @wordstern!? You will be incredibly missed by so many. Big hugs.

Your words of wisdom and display of empathy are an inspiration, and I do hope our paths cross again professionally.
You're a true ally if there ever was one! ✊🏾❤️
Stephen, truly sad to read this. Such a dedication to your work, to the service, and always been an inspiration and a supportive thoughtful colleague to so many of us. Wishing you some fantastic things to come! 👋✨

Wow, Stephen. You gave everything to that place and taught me so much. Thank you for being an advocate and ally. You were Twitter's conscience, even though leadership refused to listen.
— Angela Kilduff ✨ (@angelakilduff) June 2, 2020
If I can help with what's next, let me know. I'd love to work together again.
I don't think I know anyone with a bigger heart - best of luck to you!

I have big respect for you. How you have been open, vulnerable, honest & caring. You are one of the good guys.

Ok you just made 2020 even worse 😢 You made Twitter a better place and the community we serve, stronger. So sad I can’t say goodbye in person. Thank you for being you ❤️
— Kelly (@Hummmmmbaby) June 1, 2020
I’ll always remember you asking hard Qs at tea time - taught newbies like me that we can and should do that. good luck!

Thanks for all that you did at Twitter, Stephen. You always brought so much heart to the work. And because of you, I will always capitalize Tweet. If there’s anything I can help with, let me know. 💛
