I am always trying to figure out better ways to keep archive stuff. Twitter is really hard. I have been trying to find an answer for it. I've had a lot of help, so I thought I would show you what I mean.
Archive
Here is a post by Voultar. He is telling people someone ransacked his lab. Others are saying his shelves collapsed. He is a retro engineer of some repute so it's an interesting look.

Here is an archive of that post. Notice how it's a single post in a thread with no comments.
Here is a thread reader look at it. I pay $3 a month to do this. Notice how it's just the posts from the thread. No comments.

Here is an archive of the post on thread reader
This is the post on nitter. I have to keep finding a new one to get it to work.
https://nitter.poast.org/Voultar/status/1791882321731228093
And then the nitter archive. I need to edit the link to get what I want.
Here is the ghost archive. Yeah, if this is real, we have a winner. I have had to edit it slightly to get it archived, but it worked.
Someone else in another community used Twstalker but when I did use it, it doesn't show all the replies and if you're not using an ad-blocker, it can be painful to use.
Ghost Archive needs to be made the default for archiving considering how well it worked compared to the other alternatives. I'm guessing they're using sleeper logged in accounts to snapshot the page, so it's not guaranteed in the future should Elon have a purge but it's better than what we have now from the usual suspects.
Yeah, this will be my default for stuff from X. It's way better.
