@darius thanks! Sorry one other question, how did you go about dealing with shortened twitter urls for QTs, etc? Especially in case where original link is dead (because of account deletion / suspension), was there a way to utilize internet archive or something else to resurrect the content there?

Darius Kazemi

@AnarchoDoggo QTs will look like this:

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar

I leave it up to the user to either go to that link, or to see if wayback machine has it, etc. Otherwise I would be archiving other people's content and that is an ethical can of worms I do not want to open with this project since I cannot get people's consent for that

Darius Kazemi

@AnarchoDoggo I do unfurl all t.co urls to their original url

Anarcho Doggo

@darius sweet, looking forward to seeing how you do this.

Darius Kazemi

@AnarchoDoggo oh it's built in to the twitter archive itself. the text of the tweets contains the t.co but there is metadata for original URLs so I just find/replace

Anarcho Doggo

@darius oh hell yeah, good to know! Thanks again

Anarcho Doggo

@darius makes a lot of sense, thanks. What is used to translate short links to originals?

Darius Kazemi

@AnarchoDoggo I answered in the other sub-thread a few seconds ago, heh

Anarcho Doggo
