A helpful person (@masukomi ) pointed out that Twitter archives don't even contain full-resolution images. Grrr! The first one I looked at was 600x809 in the archive. If I download it from Twitter appending ?format=jpg&name=large then it gives me an image that is 780x1052.

"Bit.ly s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶e̶n̶s̶ [ruins] 600 million links per month. .. Bit.ly makes money by charging for access to a̶g̶g̶r̶e̶g̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶a̶ [your activity on the internet collected by tracking cookies] created as a result of many people using the shortened URLs." Do you think wikipedia would accept my edits? Context: We are trying to restore shortened URLs in the Twitter archive but they're a pain. Meanwhile Bit.ly is worth $64 million.

"Elon Musk has announced a general amnesty for suspended #Twitter accounts... Accounts suspended on Twitter include Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon, rightwing UK commentator Katie Hopkins and David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard." I had been hanging on to my account for debugging our script but this is insane. If you continue posting I'm going to assume you are happy with sharing a platform with these people.

@timhutton Thanks - that'll be handy. Am I reading it wrong though? Looking through my archive, I see the full image URl in the entities?

@timhutton thank you so much for doing this unfortunately I thought I was very technically advanced 30 year Internet user who knows how to code basic html but since I’ve come to mastodon I realized I’m a complete ignorant noob who doesn’t understand computers. Can you explain the following to me which I don’t understand it’s like it’s a whole new language I’ve never learned before?: “Open a command-prompt in that folder python parser.py”

@timhutton This sounds like it will be really useful but alas way beyond the ken of techno numpties like me 😂

@timhutton @f4grx Thanks for that, it'll be useful. Just raised https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser/issues/4 as tweets.js gets split into multiple 101Mb parts if your archive is large

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS, @timhutton! I had my Twitter export folder lying in my hard disk for so long that I almost ended up deleting 5 years of my activity on the platform just because it was so itchy to find the stuff I wanted. I now have a solution, thanks again ❤️

@timhutton Using pleroma-bot you can suck that twitter archive.zip directly into mastodon, and have them present as toots.

@timhutton “Open a command-prompt” > I'm not good at that, unfortunately. Isn't there just a piece of installable software for that? Preferably for macOS.

@timhutton Thanks for the code, curious if that includes any bookmarked items so will have to check it out.
