SUCH a cool experiment out of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab: https://archive.social

Allows you to capture a thread from Twitter and archive it in sealed PDFs to attest to legitimacy.

Could be enormously useful to journalists, archivists, etc, particularly with Twitter facing a perilous future.

High-fidelity capture of Twitter threads as sealed PDFs on social.perma.cc. An experiment of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab.

@molly0xfff Hmmm. What's critical for posterity is that we capture a pristine archive of dril's feed before it's too late.

@Chris @molly0xfff I generated one actually by scraping Nitter. probably not totally comprehensive but it's close, my code is available https://github.com/RoyWiggins/twitter-emergency-scraper

@Chris @molly0xfff works on non-dril accounts too obviously. saves to html & json. Not archival quality, but it's something.
