I enjoy archiving stuff from Twitter and am in a bit of a problem. My favorite way was through Nitter. It shows all the posts if it's an type post and comments from others. The only time I don't like it is when videos are involved.
Nitter is gone, and I can't seem to find an alternative. Straight from Twitter usually does a single post. Thread reader is great, but doesn't include comments.
Does anyone know a solution?
It makes sense- being able to scrape Twitter/X for posts would be a huge repository to train LLMs. Elon is a smart guy, and he wants a cut if someone is going to use “his property” to make money. The unfortunate downside is that archives will no longer work. I wish there was a way to communicate the need for archival of tweets to him, as I think he would be receptive.
The entire Internet is going to go this way soon. With LLMs, original data=power.
And yeah, ideally X would have its own archival service, possibly with screenshot hosting so embeds could point to either the static screenshot or the live tweet.
Yup. Twitter is fb but X'd, now. Just expect slightly less pedophilia, from elonic lizardry.
nitter.poast.org works for now
The long list will be done this week or next. I got busy for a while and couldn't do much. There's over 400 links.
Well, that loaded. Thank you.
It won't archive, so I will see what I can do from there.
It's been extremely flaky for me when reading replies to threads. Hitting refresh multiple times is common, and some threads just plain don't load at all.
Better than nothing, though. And I refuse to make a twitter account on principle.
It will last another 30 days maximum. The APIs that were used to get access to twitter data no longer exist. When these final tokens expire, it goes kaput.
