If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

I'm sure his performance will still be on par with that of his peers.

Thought exercises for you, the reader. "Wielding" these against others goes against their spirit. None of the items below can substitute for individual judgement or experience.

In no particular order:

1. One person's "balkanization" is another person's "protective cell wall"

2. Communities can't exist without boundaries; otherwise all you have is a crowd where only the loudest get heard

3. Instances are run by people, not algorithms, and virtually always by people who are donating their time, energy, and money to their users. When you interact with another instance, act as though you're interacting with their guests in their living room.

4. One bad actor can ruin an entire space for everyone else and it only takes one bad actor to drive out all of the good actors, especially the quiet ones

4a. If an admin blocks or defederates aggressively, they may be hyper-attuned to early warning signs and dog whistles that you haven't noticed

4b. If it was an obvious tell, it wouldn't be a dog whistle. Trust marginalized voices when they point these out

4c. A bad actor can act nicely to your face while showing a different one to others

5. No one owes you their attention nor are you owed theirs

Stay safe

I'm having computer troubles and dealing with stuff - there's still a lot of 'discourse' going on on that CW/politics post I made earlier, including a lot of genuine and valid questions - I'd appreciate help answering them from anyone who has the time and spoons <3

Hi again, everyone. If you're #newHere from #ScienceTwitter, just a reminder that

it's

OK

down.

There's no algorithm to fight. You don't need to write clickbait. Just be a person and, like, relax?
