Kris helped me motivate to enter the Fediverse, so here I am: @wiert@mastodon.social
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/18
Given Elon Musk taking over Twitter, I decided to create an account in the federated social network Mastodon part of the Fediverse realm. In my case it is [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers (@wiert@mastodon.social) – Mastodon (which you can visit at mastodon.social/@wiert).
Right now the account is rudimentary. More meta-data and media will be added later.
Mastodon is open source at [Wayback/Archive] mastodon/mastodon: Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community and you can join via [Wayback/Archive] Mastodon – Decentralized social media (joinmastodon.org) after choosing a Mastodon server/website. I have chosen [Wayback/Archive] Home – Mastodon (mastodon.social).
Given a Mastodon has a trunk, messages on Mastodon are called “Toots”.
For now some of the Tweets and links that Kris ([Wayback/Archive] Kris (@isotopp@chaos.social) – chaos.social) posted helping me to start on Mastodon.

This is fine #Twitter (illustration inspired by KC Green; creation video below)
(Edit 20221114: script for high-res images; more tweets from Jan) (Edit 20221116: hat-tip to Sam) (Edit 20221120: archiving t.co links by Michele Weigle) (Edit 20221122: added article by Johan van der Knijff) (20221128 Tapue export tool by Mike Hucka)
Time to be prepared:
- [Wayback/Archive] Zoë Schiffer on Twitter: “Wow. Elon Musk just told Twitter employees he’s not sure how much run rate the company has and “bankruptcy isn’t out of the question.””
- [Wayback/Archive] Brian Platt on Twitter: “Staff who have departed Twitter today: – chief information security officer – chief privacy officer – chief compliance officer – global head of safety – global head of ad sales”

The below will help you exporting your Twitter content (Tweets, DMs, media), perform some conversions on them and optionally delete (parts of) your content.
Important: keep your Twitter account afterwards (to prevent someone from creating a new account with the same handle).

Jelmer Visser on Twitter: “Doelwit van een flamewar op Twitter? Dat is vervelend. Zo doorsta je de storm. … 1/*”

Good thread: [Archive.is] Jelmer Visser on Twitter: “Doelwit van een flamewar op Twitter? Dat is vervelend. Zo doorsta je de storm. 1. Blijf kalm, reageer nergens op 2. Traceer de ergste aanjagers, herkenbaar aan quotetweets met meeste likes 3. Zoek naar je eigen naam met een sokpop voor screenshots van geblokte accounts 1/*”

Herhaald appel aan #MeerOverMedisch (hallo @ReneSteenhorst): zorg dat je behalve per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.

Ik herhaal mijn appel van een paar weken terug:
[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Tip voor #MeerOverMedisch (ik hoop dat @ReneSteenhorst dit kan laten fiksen): zorg dat je behalve
meerovermedisch.nl/columntypes/gastcolumn/ook per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.”
De volledige draad vind je op [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App, waarover hieronder meer.

Hopefully also soon in the Twitter web user-interface: “Sometimes you want to see yourself out. Take control of your mentions and leave a conversation with Unmentioning, now rolling out to everyone on all devices.”

I have seen this work on some mobile devices for some accounts but not yet in the web-userinterface at http://www.twitter.com or mobile.twitter.com

To make Twitter a better place for visually impaired: please do without those fancy Unicode letters in your account and messages – Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2022 – #a11y
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/05/19
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, so it is a good day to write about a Twitter bot that tries to coerce people in having more accessible Twitter names and messages.
I knew I made a bookmark of [Wayback/Archive] Jacques Favreau on Twitter: “@Conundrum9999 @asciiArtHelpBot will make a little video of reading these things if anybody wants to try it out on a tweet.”
But when searching for it earlier this month, I could not find it (see below how in the end I did find it back).
The tweet was part of a thread that started with this tweet which very well describes why you should refrain from using fancy characters in Tweets or Twitter names:
[Wayback/Archive] Katie Mixtochtli – read my pinned – use alt text on Twitter: “Why you should avoid symbols and nonstandard letters in your twitter name if you want to be screen reader friendly: #DisabilityTwitter #disabilityinclusion Read on to see how “𝕁𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤 – ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ⁱˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵒᵗᵉˢᵗ – ℂ𝕣𝕠𝕩𝕥𝕠𝕟 liked your reply” sounds to me 👇🏼”
The thread contains the long text you get when a screen reader reads that tweet. A video of that is below, and I saved the thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @Conundrum9999 on Thread Reader App:

In deze tijden van desinformatie belangrijker dan ooit “Zo check je waar die foto vandaan komt: foto’s controleren met een paar muisklikken.” (Peter Burger op Twitter) #OSINT
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/08
(English link for OSINT video/photo checking at the bottom of the post)
[Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “Zo check je waar die foto vandaan komt: foto’s controleren met een paar muisklikken.”
Met voorbeeld video’s hoe je dit met foto’s kunt doen, en een wat langere YouTube video hoe je dat ook met video kunt doen via [Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “@ManoelServal Hebben we net een video over gemaakt! …”
[Wayback/Archive] Hoe check je video’s? – YouTube
Soms kom je op internet video’s tegen waarvan je denkt: klopt dat wel? In deze video van Nieuwscheckers zie je hoe je heel simpel kan controleren waar een video vandaan komt. http://www.nieuwscheckers.nl
Verderop in de replies een eenvoudige manier om video’s terug te vinden [Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “@CarelBrendel Met gewoon screenshots maken en dan reverse image search kom je vaak een heel eind. Wil je meer dan is er speciaal voor video de Amnesty YouTube Data Viewer en vooral de geweldige plugin van Invid: …”:
[Wayback/Archive] InVID Verification Plugin – InVID project
A plugin to debunk fake news and to verify videos and images
It is available on that page for both Firefox and Chrome.
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] Daan Westerink on Twitter: “In deze tijd van misinformatie en propaganda: check een foto voordat je deze retweet.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “.@BeukeringBG heeft zijn retweet meteen verwijderd. Voor wie zelf foto’s wil checken: … of gebruik InVID, de beste tool op dit gebied …”
- [Wayback/Archive] Rudy Bouma on Twitter: “@fritsander Het is videobeeld van CNN. Je kunt dit eenvoudig zelf vinden door de afbeelding up te loaden in Google Images. Dat heet reverse image search. Kun jij bij het beste bij alle foto’s doen voor je ze verder verspreidt. …”
- [Wayback/Archive] Jan Vergouwe on Twitter: “@Amsterdam1058 @JPeterBurger Is wel een heel ander filmpje, maar bij deze: …”

The last link also pointed to a tweet English content on tracing the source of video/photo material [Wayback/Archive] Jan Vergouwe on Twitter: “Ook benieuwd wat je zou kunnen doen om te checken of een foto of video nep of echt is? Een goed te volgen (in Engels wel) introductie…”
[Wayback/Archive] Shayan Sardarizadeh on Twitter: “Are you keen to learn how to use free, open source tools to investigate and verify videos and images online? @_kRaay @BenDoBrown @paulybrown and I have made a video with some tips about how we in @BBCNews verify online content.

When Twitter “twitter.com/i/timeline” fails (often, intermittently, usually for a few days, sometimes weeks)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/21
Quite often, but at unpredictable intervals and durations, twitter.com/i/timeline fails.
I finally got the right search terms for this, so via [Wayback] twitter search your timeline – Google Search I found [Wayback] How to search your Twitter timeline | iMore.
The alternative:
- shows most of the tweets from the timeline
- does not show notifications (so you have to refresh every now and then)
Their trick is to filter your tweets on filter:follows filter:nativeretweets, then order by latest (the f=live bit below).
Direct web-link: twitter.com/search?q=filter%3Afollows%20filter%3Anativeretweets&src=typed_query&f=live
For me, this filter seems to work better: filter:follows -filter:replies -filter:nativeretweets as it allows me to easily include or exclude retweets.
Direct URL: twitter.com/search?q=filter%3Afollows%20-filter%3Areplies%20-filter%3Anativeretweets&src=typed_query&f=live
I bolded a few bits above for readability; below you can see how the URI is formed from the filter parts:
| filter part | URI part | notes |
|---|---|---|
twitter.com/search?q= |
base of URI | |
filter:follows |
filter%3Afollows |
show tweets of people you follow |
%20 |
encoded space | |
filter:nativeretweets |
filter%3Anativeretweets |
only show new-style retweets |
& |
URI parameter separator | |
src=typed_query |
tells Twitter this is a “filter” | |
f=live |
the “filter” is “Latest” tweets (without this, it is “Top” tweets) | |
-filter:replies |
-filter%3Areplies |
do not show replies (those are in your regular “notifications” already) |
-filter:nativeretweets |
-filter%3Anativeretweets |
do not show new-style retweets |
