I've downloaded my #Twitter data (posts, follows, likes, etc.) as an offline zip file, as preparation for cutting my last ties to the platform.
Note that Twitter itself still offers this option. Go to Settings \ Your account \ Download an archive of your data.
Does anyone know a way to do this and put the data back online somewhere, outside Twitter, without hosting one's own server?

Thx. I'm near the end of trying this & hit a wall. I unpacked the zip file of my Twitter data; logged into my Internet Archive account; uploaded my tweets.js file; got back a tweet-urls (CSV) file; imported the CSV file into a Google sheet; and gave IA permission to access my G sheets.
But I can't tell what to do next. How do I upload the sheet to IA? Or is IA already crunching it without telling me?
These questions not necessarily for Adam. Anyone who knows the process?
Update. I just archived my #Twitter account at #CommunityArchive.
https://www.community-archive.org/
Easy to search with [from:petersuber KEYWORDS].

The process is much simpler than for the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (earlier this thread). Recommended.
Note that I had more than 10.4k tweets and only 7.7k were successfully uploaded. Not sure why. Probably related to fact that I got thousands of error messages when I tried uploading to the Wayback Machine.
