- TheRealPomax 9y agoI wrote a JS based tweet curator to do this on a manual rather than automated basis. Mostly to keep the responsibility for dumb accidental deletion "on me". https://github.com/Pomax/Twitter-Personal-Feed-Curator https://github.com/Pomax/Twitter-Personal-Feed-Curator
- llao 9y agoThank you, I was just going to ask for something like this.
- tombrossman 9y agoThis is what I'm using for the past year or so, running daily as a cronjob: https://gitlab.com/tombrossman/TwitterDeleteMost https://gitlab.com/tombrossman/TwitterDeleteMost You can whitelist specific tweets to keep, and set a threshold for favorites or retweets above which the tweets are preserved. For example, if you tweet something and ten people retweet it, the script will save it forever. If you tweet something that no one retweets or favorites, it's gone after 30 days. I call it a 'socially curated' feed, since old tweets are basically worthless to anyone but strangers wanting to profile you. And props to Mike McQuaid over on GitHub for originally creating this tool, and for helping me adapt it to my use-case.
- tanepiper 9y agoAwesome! I used Mike's original tool a few years back, got rid of a lot of my twitter. Probably time to do it again with your fork :)
