Quit fucking archiving tweets you utter faggots. It takes forever to open, if it opens, and for what? What is the point?
It's a difficult discussion because several tweets have been taken down. Also, finding the right archive site is riddled with problems.
I have three techniques to get a tweet archived and it can take work for it to show up properly.
I couldn't even open this one it just dumped a failover. Had to copy the URL.
Archive everything you troglodyte.
Why? Literally, why? Do you think you're going to come back through some day looking for some 'evidence' in an archived Tweet? How are you even going to do that when there's no way to ever even search archived posts?
No, really, why? What is it you think you're solving here?
Shit changes within the hour for starters. I've lost count of how many times I've seen some linked tweet dead by the time I got to the thread and it's only a couple of hours old. That's before we get into malicious memory holing behavior or websites vanishing.
