Some 2 years ago, but still relevant on all Social Media platforms is the [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @AlanLevinovitz on Thread Reader App – a short list of flexible rules I use to make this a wonderful paradise I enjoy almost all the time.
Quoted in full (#7 really works, see the screenshot at the end of the blog post):

I missed this, hence it is now in my link archive:

Based on these tweets, I want to write a bookmarklet that at least removes the s= and t= parameters from Twitter URLs, maybe even all parameters (TODO: figure out if there are useful Twitter URL parameters first):
?s=03” (or another number like “?s=09“). Deleting these URL parameters causes no harm. Or at least the truncated URL loads the same tweet. What do these URL parameters mean and who uses them? @twitter, #twitter, #tweeps”t= parameter works as is and sometimes it doesn’t work until we delete the parameter.”Even Jack Dorsey didn’t know they were introduced when he was still Twitter CEO. From the tweets below:
s parameter seems to have to have to do with both the kind of sharing and the type of client used.t parameter could correlate with the user ID.There is a sort of bookmarklet below which goes through an external web-site (search for “unfurl”), but I want to do it purely client-side.

Edit: I scheduled this post a long time ago, but it likely won’t work any more because of Space Karen demolsing Twitter. So for now, view this post as a how historically we had nice things on Twitter.
When writing this, the fork [Wayback/Archive] woluxwolu/twint works and the original [Wayback/Archive] twintproject/twint: An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. does not.

From 2008 to fall 2013, Twitter used the Fail Whale, a 2006 artwork by Yiying Lu originally titled “Lifting A Dreamer”, to indicate problems on their site.
Now that it is about a year after Musk burned some 44 milliard USD buying Twitter, it is also 10 years ago they phased out the Fail Whale, so it is a good time to remember it and a reminder to check out how Twitter faired during Elon’s ownership.
With Twitter down, you’d see the image from [Wayback/Archive] Yiying Lu 🐳 🥟🧋 on Twitter: “It has been 10 years since my art piece “Lifting a Dreamer” became the Twitter Fail Whale, a symbol as @Twitter’s service outrage during 2008-2013. It has inspired hundreds, probably thousands, of funny, clever & amusing homages and take-offs from users globally. Here are a few: …”:

[Wayback/Archive] John Scott-Railton on X: “Where are the Quote Tweets? 1️⃣ Find & click the tiny dots 2️⃣ Navigate this cumbersome menu 3️⃣ Marvel at the deliberate enshittification of Twitter 4️⃣ Ponder whether this change is because someone didn’t enjoy getting ratioed.”

Hoping I can still use the Twitter API to perform thousands of requests: [Wayback/Archive] Burninator Sec: Twitter Removed the Blocked Account Export – Let’s Put it Back!
I dug around in the Data Archive and eventually found block.js, which is a JSON object of all the blocked accounts in their ideas. From there you can write a quick Python script to use the Twitter API to resolve all of those IDs to usernames.

I didn’t know about analytics.twitter.com. It cannot be archived in the WayBack machine or Archive Today (because of http 307 redirects without a logged on Twitter account), but it gives analytics of your past twitter behaviour.
The about link does archive though: [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Analytics: about.
