#dataliberation — Public Fediverse posts

Here's your periodic reminder to #backup your #SocialMedia profiles by using their relevant #DataLiberation options. :)

For #Mastodon that is usually at https://your.instance.example/settings/export
#Twitter has an export option at https://twitter.com/settings/download_your_data
#Google's services are just about all consolidated at their #GoogleDataTakeout at https://takeout.google.com/
#Instagram's available at https://www.instagram.com/download/request/

Okay, so I got a rudimentary first version of #TootPortal working, which is yet another #ScratchYourOwnItches #PetProject.

It allows me to create a directory structure with simple #markdown files in it, which will be converted into #HTML, where each list item that refers to a toot URL (for now only Mastodon style URLs with numeric IDs are supported), gets expanded to the bare minimum content of that status, along with (optionally) any replies to it.

The more I look at this old #GooglePlus #GoogleDataTakeout archive, the more I spot bugs/issues I missed during the #GooglePlusExodus period.
Of course nothing can be done about it anymore now, but it might be a warning for #DataLiberation of data from other #Google services.

Take for instance this #JSON file from my #GPlus Stream #GoogleTakeout archive: https://gist.github.com/FiXato/6edb8af605d0f6c0febe5fc94aeab087
And compare it to the related archived post on #WayBackMachine: http://web.archive.org/web/20190308043152/https://plus.google.com/112064652966583500522#author:i34
