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?

      I only found a way to generate and download .js files. - separate ones for tweets, followed accounts, etc.

    Yes, you can locally memorize your inside jokes with your friends internally inside your brain. The you can summon them forth with the phrase “remember when…” and enjoy a hearty laugh with friends.

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

        Photos are funny.

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

          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

              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?

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

      This is my emergency fallback but I wouldn’t recommend it. The software isn’t reliable, is known to hallucinate and files can easily get corrupted. Do not use it for anything important.
