Micro.blog has a master switch for AI. If the user turns it off, there’s no AI usage. Period. None of the AI features would work:

@mcb What are you looking for exactly? The export that was upgraded is pretty straightforward - that is, a page in org-mode becomes a page in TiddlyWiki syntax, you just need to copy-paste.
\nBut, if you do that already, I’d suggest using markdown. You can export it from org-mode natively, and TiddlyWiki has an official plugin for it which works well. You can just add the special TiddlyWiki macros on top of it, and they work fine.
