For my link archive:
twitter.com/search-advanced 🔍 All known queries: github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search“
tweeterid.com to get the user ID, and this url: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=123 eg, for me: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=495430242 Useful for finding similar users!”
zerowidthspace.me copy paste it somewhere in the TLD (.com) to stop twitter from parsing it as a link, like this: https://example.com/?foo=bar Useful to show url parameters, or tweet banned links.”
caiorss.github.io/bookmarklet-maker to make a browser bookmarklet that takes you to the original tweet: javascript:(function(){(m=>{m&&(window.location=m.slice(-1)[0])})(document.title.match(/(\bhttps?:\/\/t\.co\/[\w\-\.as]+)/g))})()“

It is open source at [Wayback/Archive] NanaMorse/Cuckoo.Plus: A GooglePlus-Like third-party web client for mastodon. with hardly any updates like lik because the author is not active on Mastodon any more according to [Wayback/Archive] Is dead the repo ? · Issue #237 · NanaMorse/Cuckoo.Plus (via [Wayback/Archive] Issues · NanaMorse/Cuckoo.Plus)
Note that in some Mastodon instances it fails because of CORS issues:

One reason I still use Twitter is that it trumps keyboard shortcuts over other social media I use.

Hopefully by now (given Spare Karen’s moves), this still exists: [Wayback/Archive] Moa
Link your Mastodon account to Twitter with Moa Bridge.
Documentation and updates are on [Wayback/Archive] Home — Moa Party
Welcome to the Moa Party!
Moa is open source server code that enables cross-posting between networks such as Mastodon, Twitter, and other networks. The main server runs at https://moa.party, and is maintained as a public utility.
This site is the Moa Party: used for status updates, documentation, and news from the maintainers.
You can also run your own instance as it is open source at [Wayback/Archive] FedStoa / moa · GitLab (formerly at [Wayback/Archive] FedStoa/moa: A Mastodon, Twitter, and Instagram Cross-poster).

Some of the people I know are not on any of Signal, WhatsApp, Google Chat, or other usual direct message platforms.
This left Discord, which I use more (at least weekly) than Facebook Messenger (once a month or so).
Sharing a user-link there proved to be quite a bit more difficult than I anticipated: it even involves enabling developer mode!

A while ago, I wrote two threads (one in English and one in Dutch) about using the Twitter Alt-badge to make pictures in tweets more accessible.
The English one had the correct quote, but a wrong link which I corrected below (we want editable tweets!).
Two bots that I mention in reply-Tweets usually helps to rudimentary restore the text:
@get_altText @AltTextUtil OCR
in the first Tweet and to the reply that @AltTextUtil gives, I respond with another
@get_altText
Here are the two threads:

This was fall 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Lists Memberships. Wondering what Twitter lists I am on by now.
Via: [Wayback/Archive] twopcharts_nl on Twitter: “Bij elk overzicht met lijstnamen, waarbij de meest recente lijsten boven en de oudste lijsten onder staan, van bekendere accounts, zie je de verharding van Twitter. Zo ook bij dit account van @BoswachterTim”

Edit 20260218: added archived links to the July 1988 “USERS’ DIRECTORY OF COMPUTER NETWORKS” and the direct link to the Kremvax article from Piet Beertema himself (in addition to the April Fools on the Net posts that were already there) .
Triggered by [Wayback/Archive] Hillel on Twitter: “Gen-Z programmers are always chasing the new shiny thing like Tailwind and Svelte instead of learning CS fundamentals, like React”, below some links on HEARN, EARN and BITNET Relay: conference system before IRC.
I might amend it later with more information, but for now the list is so that I do not have to re-do the search queries.
