It’ll be fascinating if we can diff.

It's the twitter (the company)'s blog, not twitter posts by users, so nothing spicy per se, but still concerning that it's missing after the hack. The blog is now at blog.x.com now, so decided to link both, so you can see if there is any difference. https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://blog.twitter.com https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://blog.twi... https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://blog.x.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://blog.x.c...

  > but still concerning that it's missing after the hack. What makes you think there's any connection?

    I have no proof of course, but the timing does give rise to valid reason for concern. I don't give a fig about some company blog, but regardless, in an era where the internet is starting to forget, any situation like this causes hearts to sink.

      > I have no proof of course, but the timing does give rise to valid reason for concern. What timing? The stretch of missing data ends in late 2023.

        Oh I don't mean timing in a political or elon-purchase sense. I meant if the data is missing because of the hack. It's entirely possible internet archive never indexed the blog from 2019-2023...so there was no data to lose. But I find that hard to believe. Seems random. They scanned before and after but not during this time for some reason? I really really hope the hack wasn't reason for the data to be missing, because that can give reason to fear that other obscure data might be missing too.

        good point! It's entirely possible internet archive never indexed the blog from 2019-2023...so there was no data to lose. But I find that hard to believe. Seems random.

I really really hope the hack wasn't reason for the data to be missing, because that can give reason to fear that other obscure data might be missing too. Things more important to us than a company blog.
