Jim CliffordReasons for historians to be concerned about Threads winning and killing Twitter: Twitter provides access for the Internet Archive and allowed my project full access to download up to 10 million Tweets a month related to COVID and Saskatchewan. Facebook and Instagram block the Internet Archive and don’t provide access to academics. Twitter owned by Musk is terrible and not currently providing access for new Academic projects, but Meta is also really bad for archiving.
Daniel Brotherston@jburnford I mean...Twitter has clearly locked down their content (and any staff who worked to open things up are almost certainly fired)
So I actually don't think that's a reason to be concerned....they are equally bad...they might not have been equally bad in the past...but you know as well as anyone...the past is the past.
