5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Is there a way to locally archive an entire Twitter account, replies included? (self.asklemmy)

My friends and I were active Twitter users up until it got sold and the only reason my account isn't deleted already is because I have a LOT of memories there.

I looked into downloading the tweets.js archive but that seems to be only what I wrote, not the original tweet if it's a reply. Having the full conversations that led to in-jokes is what I'm after!

I understand why this would be very complicated and to add to that, half of our profiles are set to private so The Way Back Machine and other public services won't work. Media would be nice but it's not a requirement.

Does something like this exist?

Why use photos when you can just memorize the picture in your head? 🫠

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Photos are funny.

Scrolling through your old xitter shit posts with the boys does not sound like a good time to me.

[–] glimse 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What makes you think I want to scroll through the posts with the boys and not archive it? Couldn't even do that if I wanted to since I don't have a portal to the afterlife.

Why pop into this thread at all if you're just going to be a pompous douche? Someone so petty is in no position to judge others

Having a bad day, huh?

[–] glimse 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm missing the deceased friend you think I should speak to.

So what made your day so bad? Or are you always this miserable?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My days great, surrounded by a family who loves me, cuddling my dog right now. Sounds like you need to work on yourself!

[–] glimse 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone who has ever loved you was wrong

There is a reason why you're a miserable lonely cunt mate and it's not me. Do better by yourself, for yourself. Maybe you'll have more friends and a more fulfilling life that way.
