Love the tool, much needed 👏

Rant Alert: One thing I wish developers would stop doing however is pinging for the Nostr extension as soon as you load the page. It MUST be user initiated via a button or action. And we must stop requesting ALL permissions before the client needs them.

e.g: requesting read access to messages should only happen when clicking on DMs, requesting write access to messages should only happen when clicking reply or new message.

Same in this instance for clawing data off from Twitter. Firstly connect Twitter/X and then only on success request Nostr access at the user's disretion. We should not make it an industry standard and the expectation for each site to claw everyone's pub keys before they even load the page, whether they are loaded into a database or not.

If you want to delete your stuff on Twitter (and other social media apps) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the use of the (amazing) app/service known as Redact , which I happen to know someone on the team who built this thing...even if I didn't, I would still recommend it because there's nothing else that I know of like it out there.

Their pricing model for the premium service unfortunately is a bit unbalanced at the moment, due to recent changes that have been forced upon any providers of third party access apps utilizing the APIs of different sites, namely twitter and reddit (who have both increased third party developer access costs for their APIs by an INSANE amount of money, which have to be passed along to consumers somewhere).

That said, you'd be spending literally DAYS AND DAYS if not WEEKS on end trying to manually go through and do all of the deletion and archival stuff you can do automatically in this app, it's really quite powerful and awesome, I won't keep shilling it here, you should go and check it out yourselves. It supports like 30 different social media services/apps, and you can set it up to run on a schedule or to delete certain posts/messages sent looking for a certain word (or lack thereof). You can also back up all of your content to an external spreadsheet and stuff like that.

One of those things I couldn't recommend more highly, especially for those of us here who are security conscious.

This is a nice idea, but I cannot stand sites that instantly launch an extension window (in my case, for Alby) asking me to finalize/confirm a connection request that I never personally initialized in the first place. It's obnoxious and bad form from a UI/UX perspective, not to mention just a dumb move to make as a developer, you're adding unnecessary amounts of outbound connection requests constantly upon loading the site.

Also, having to rely upon receiving an archive file from twitter of your own stuff instead of attempting to automatically bridge the content/mirror it seems kind of janky, especially since you'll have to wait to be "granted" your own stuff back from the corporate overlords at Twitter, errm, I mean "X", and who knows how long that'll take?

You might be able to accomplish the same thing even quicker yourself, using a scraping service like IFTTT to create a Google Sheets or Airtable collection of all of the tweets on your account, within a reasonable timeframe of course -- and then take that and upload it into such a site.

Heck, if something along these lines doesn't come along I might have to build it myself.

Not loading on brave so I assume it runs some kind of script locally on load. Not going to use it for that reason.

Suggest a landing page without scripts and as someone here said, a button people can click to proceed.

What does this do? It appears to offer a way to republish tweets? Why would one want to do this and wouldn't this just spam Nostr? Need more details on how this works. Is this open source?

Nostr post

Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

Download your twitter archive
If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009 ✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies) ✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth ✅ it should preserve embedded images ✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:

Documentation is a bit light, to say the least. Will the script move content previously published on Twitter to a Nostr account?

Bitcoin twitter turned on Elon a while ago, when they got news of SpaceX selling their stack of BTC. They feel slighted by him, lol.

When a tool doing the same for Mastodon? Or should I build one if not already built by someone else? 🧐

Personal data portability is key for moving along social networks. We all do remember back in the days how BigTech was importing all your contact lists right..?

People should do what they want to do but I would say it would make more sense to stop using Twitter, pin a tweet pointing to Nostr and never use it again if you really wanna make a statement. There are many valid reasons why you would just delete it though.
