If like me and many others, you're in the process of moving your tweets to a new home on your own site, a word of caution:

Tweets to twitter circles are not labelled as such in the export, so be aware of the risk of making public what you might have intended for a trusted group

@philhawksworth woof good tip phil my circles have been chaos

Phil Hawksworth

@hankchizljaw I've not been very active/spicy in many circles... but still want a solution for this before I publish my archive on my site

Andy Bell

@philhawksworth i'm personally looking at my archive as mainly garbage, but I do want some of my favourite shitposts to live forever

Phil Hawksworth

@hankchizljaw Ha!

I'm not comfortable with the long look in the mirror that deciding what my wheat-to-chaff ratio has been... but I've always wanted to retain my content on URLs, so I want to publish everything I've chosen to post publicly

@hankchizljaw @philhawksworth
history of garbage is still of historical value 🖖

@philhawksworth How do export attachments like photos and videos?

Andy Bell

@philhawksworth it's a shame you can't replace your twitter profile with a _redirects when it's all done

Andy Bell

@philhawksworth also my wheat to chaff is very chaff 😂

@philhawksworth I was wondering what people's use cases were going to be for downloading their archives.

Does it pump it out in any sort of usable format? I'm not sure if I'd miss anything I've posted. I could post it all again I guess 😅 Maybe I could do a series of blog posts on my own domain going back through demos I've made. That'll give me a stream for a minute.

@jhey You get a pretty nice artifact as it goes. All the data is in JSON (which I'll use to populate a section of my own site) and it has a little local site wrapper to let you explore.
