I got myself Twitter Blue for $8 to see the tyre fire from the front row. Even tweeted about it. I won't be renewing but it was fun to try.

Anyway, it got me thinking: Mastodon is nice. No ads, 500 characters per message, pretty decent audience already... I could actually see myself paying $8/month for it.

SO I DID.

Is it in bad taste to talk about it? I don't know, maybe? My point really is that this platform feels more OURS so it feels right to chime in.

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.
