+title: Welcome to the @ewagoner Twitter archive
+---
+
+I was an early adopter of Twitter, going back to when its main interface was via SMS. Somehow it managed to completely replace all the writing I was doing on my blog, something I had been doing for nearly a decade.
+
+The Musk takeover made me realize I needed to reclaim my words and my online presence. The way he turned it into a (not so) proverbial Nazi bar made me realize I couldn't be in both places.
+
+But damned if he was going to have all my words, so I took them with me. Here, you can search my tweets, get a link to an archived version, and view all the content in a nice, threaded form where applicable. This does not include replies to other people, so this is just "standalone" tweets and threads.

+The [Twitter archiver](https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/make-your-own/) that [@darius](https://friend.camp/@darius) made is really neat.
+
+It takes the zip file of your archive from that site and it spits out a fully searchable static website of all your public tweets (that aren't replies to someone else).
+
+It was super easy to integrate right into this [Hugo](https://gohugo.io)-powered website, [right here](https://blog.kestrelsnest.social/mytweets/).
+
+Most of my tweets are shite, going right back to 2007, but there's some gold in there and I'm glad to have them at my fingertips in a space I own.
