Still waiting on my account export (requested 5h ago); hope that maybe they'll let me sign up for a Dev account too soon, otherwise I'll just not have an archive of my stuff over there.
Kinda fitting that you can just lose all this data at the whim of a company bad at products

@antifuchs my pipe dream personal project (as someone who doesn't work on personal projects) is to build a social media backup service.

@macroscopicentric I'd love this. My pal Kyle has made https://kyleconroy.com/archiving-twitter which I'd love to use but now I have to wait for a Dev account

@antifuchs oh nooooo
I haven't downloaded my archive in a while. Nor looked at how their API is changing to see if my original Twitter archive tactic works still. 🙃

@macroscopicentric I think you're good if you have an existing app? But for new ones you have to grovel for permission. Also, I guess my problems downloading the archive stem from having an ages-old account; must have missed a database migration or several.
@antifuchs oh that’s super annoying! I was definitely under the impression that existing apps are gonna have a problem since Darius announced his old boys are going to be unsupported and stopped working. I’ll look into it.
@antifuchs uh TIL Tootdon doesn’t perpetuate CWs.
@macroscopicentric hah, :ohno:! I think it just got updated for this!
