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).

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.

It’s almost
Goal of the current post amend the above posts with information so I can later write a bookmarklet or web-page with JavaScript that – from a x.com or twitter.com – tweet URL can get the JSON, then the images and/or videos in all sizes, then generate a web-page from it for Wayback Machine archival.

Since archiving Tweets has become so much harder over time, and Threadreaderapp not having the complete thread either, here are some links for your enjoyment:
- [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas on Twitter: “OMG my brother in law, the gift that never stops giving, was tired of being sent to get rice every day so he decided buy in bulk, talked to the shop about it, wires got crossed, now there is a literal TRUCK FILLED WITH RICE outside the house and my sister is losing her shit lmfao”
- [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas Traing To Rite Buk on Twitter: “If you have never heard a woman destroy a man with one sentence 25 times in a row you should meet my sister. She’s terrifying rn, I’m on the phone and I’m scared and she isnt even angry at me lol”
- [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @nameshiv on Thread Reader App – “To clarify, this is India so when I say truck, I don’t mean SUV, IT IS A LITERAL LORRY FILLED WITH RICE” … (which has the read of the thread)
Then some direct links that stitch most of the thread together on Twitter itself:

Mentioned this on various social media already yesterday, as then suddenly – even for EU users, which is against their GDPR regulations – Twitter turned on data sharing with Grok AI of your Twitter data at x.com/settings/grok_settings (direct settings link) without given prior warning at all

I got this default setting despite living in The Netherlands and Twitter knowing that:
