@Daviey Good to know, thanks! I'm guessing that requires you to be a Pleroma/Mastodon admin?

I don't think so, just pull out an API token from your Mastodon profile.

I started doing it via Twitter API's, until I realised that the API doesn't go back far enough. Then when I saw you could put a `archive.zip` directly in, I'm waiting for that to be prepared.

@Daviey @timhutton admins might be unhappy to have thousands of automated posts hitting their server as the archive imports? 💔

If this impacts other users -- and i don't see how it wouldn't -- this will result in angry emails / messages?

Meanwhile, can you post a link to the tool? Sounds super useful.

Sorry, but I think if admins would be unhappy with this, they need to enforce resource limits, which is a feature mastodon supports. It shouldn't be on the user to regulate volume.

(FWIW, I host my own instance so only me that would unhappy)

The tool is here, github.com/robertoszek/pleroma

@Daviey in a different thread I was commenting I hope all Admins / mods know how to use 2-factor authentication. 💔

Safe to say that not everyone running an instance knows about resource limits unless they are pre-configured and installed by default.
