People start a new year with good resolutions, many of which are not kept. So it is time to finally fulfill one of mine for 2023. That is leaving Twitter<\/em>. In November 2022, I already opened a new Mastodon<\/a> account. On Twitter I was only referencing my posts there. But I never got around to officially closing my Twitter account, just because I wanted to keep my timeline there. Now, finally, I downloaded my tweet archive and converted it to a presentable form using Tim Huttons Twitter Archive Parser<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to embed your Archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In case you also want to leave Twitter for good, here is what I did in order to preserve my posts. First, you need to request your archive as described here<\/a>. You will receive an email notice after a day or so that your archive is ready for download. This is a nicely layed-out web page containing not only your old tweets, but also some statistical data. However, all your links are still in the Twitter-style short notation using t.co, meaning that they are not directly accessible. Likewise, your images are accessed via the Twitter page. Once you delete your account, these are probably gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
