@youknowjack I'm taking the json file of my tweets, provided in the export, and cleaning it up a little to remove properties I'll not need. Which brings it down from ~50MB to ~8MB.
Then I'll use this is a data file in my site which is built with @eleventy, to generate a page for each, some pages listing them all, and a simple search that I'll build.
My site is set to get a `/notes` section to hold those and future social media postings.
Locally 26.5k pages build in ~4s at present
@hankchizljaw Yeah I've been thinking that too.
I'm not settled yet on deleting my tweets such as @beep and others are doing. But once I've published my own, I'll at least pin a tweet which points to their new home, noting that the id numbers in the URL match.
In time I might delete all from twitter other that this one bit of guidance on where to find that missing tweet on that now broken URL
@jhey Yeah.
The data dump is there too, which is useful. But yes, the little site you get for exploring it is nice.
I wish the data made a note of tweets that you posted into a circle though. That's given me pause.
And it doesn't include bookmarks.
Mine took about 24 hours to arrive after requesting it.
@jhey I got you!
You want to create a Build Hook for your site in your Build & Deploy settings, and then call it each day with a scheduled function (using fetch to issue a POST request)

@timhutton has made something very handy for that.
@hankchizljaw Ha!
I'm not comfortable with the long look in the mirror that deciding what my wheat-to-chaff ratio has been... but I've always wanted to retain my content on URLs, so I want to publish everything I've chosen to post publicly
@hankchizljaw I've not been very active/spicy in many circles... but still want a solution for this before I publish my archive on my site

Jeremy completes me.
Fair enough.
I want to ensure that I can safeguard some of my content by giving it a home and a URL that I can keep around forever
There are also some good tips for adding webmentions from @mxbck too, which I've been planning to do for some time.
@Davidtoddmccarty I'm planning to host it as part of my own site, and I'll do the same for all my future Mastodon posts too.
@sia Just did some of that on her site.
