Materiality Labs

Makers of Cardigan, a service to bulk-delete old tweets.

@WFSPatrick I hadn't planned on it, but I'll consider it!

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

That's it. https://t.co/0sdYiZlOId is no more. It's been a fun few years, but Twitter's UI and API changes have made it untenable to keep the site going. Thanks to all my users and supporters over the years! I hope you found my little project useful.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@kctipton Thanks! Sad to have to shut it down, but it was no longer tenable to keep it going in my spare time.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@nikhazyakos Sad to have to shut it down, but it was no longer viable to keep it going, since Twitter is apparently not providing the tweet archive in its new UI.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@JMFingK Hi, did you download the "Tweet Archive" file, or the "Your Twitter Data" file? It has to be the former (the site explains how to get hold of it). Otherwise it's possible that your browser automatically unzipped the file? The site explains how to turn that off.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@joerg_whtvr @pwatsonwailes Should be fixed now! Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@joerg_whtvr @pwatsonwailes Is it the "Read-only file system" error?

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@amandaenchanted No, that's a bug I have been unable to fix, except by periodically restarting the servers, which I will do now. Please try again in half an hour or so? Thanks!

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@joerg_whtvr @pwatsonwailes Hmmm, you don't see a "Request your archive" button here: https://t.co/T36565YPNJ ?

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@pwatsonwailes Thanks for the bug report. I thought I'd beaten this one a few weeks ago, but apparently not. Will take a look ASAP.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@thatsAlibi Hi, no - you'd only have to pay the difference if the new archive is larger than the old one (by enough to cross a 10K threshold).

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

In the last day https://t.co/0sdYiZDpzL suffered from a bug that caused many links and buttons to break. Things should be back to normal in a few minutes. Sorry for the disruption!

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@josiannezwart Hi, you can search your tweets by date range and when you click "Delete All" it will only delete the tweets in that range. Just read the confirmation warning carefully to be sure that it's doing what you want before you confirm.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@nidavellir_ If not let me know which browser you're using?

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@nidavellir_ Hi, as far as I can tell you should be able to see tweets recently imported from the Twitter API (not the archive tweets) here: https://t.co/q6PaCMESJI ?

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@NeoHazard Glad you found it useful!

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@LoverIan_Epsi Do you mean that you don't see any tweets here? https://t.co/q6PaCMESJI I'm not sure what you mean by "display", as opposed to "browse"?

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@KWaters10 You can select which tweets to delete by date range, so you can exclude your more recent tweets pretty easily if you select the right date.

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

https://t.co/0sdYiZDpzL is experiencing very heavy load currently. Please be patient as the servers work through the backlog of requests!

[Materiality Labs @materialitylabs]

@KWaters10 None of those things should pose a problem.
