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.
