I just found this https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader

anyone have anything similarly interesting/cool/niche-useful ?

Send ArchiveTeam the link on IRC or here and we can save it to archive.org, then later you can use wayback-machine-downloader to grab it from archive.org.

This is where it gets tricky, you need to download the code from the wayback machine and he was able to do that by following these steps: https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader

Not sure if it will work for twitter, but I have used wayback-machine-downloader to batch download stuff.

Adding to archive.org, there is a github repo to fetch website data. You can give a try too. Here is the repo link

Edit: Good news! I found a solution that saved me. I was able to download the full website (including images, JS, and CSS files) using this tool: https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader

Edit: Thank you to everyone who suggested the Wayback Machine Downloader! It saved the day and allowed me to download the full website, including images, JS, and CSS files.

I've used https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader but it sometimes messes up CSS badly

Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc.

Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc.

Write Freely, open source writing space

It's all about federation, in these federated networks all these servers talk to eachother and exchange messages about stuff going on on the servers. So it's easy to set up a hidden service for the webui of one of them, but it's sometimes quite obscure to try and set up the federation for one of them. It depends on what settings they honor and what other types of encryption and authentication they require and stuff. But, if you put some effort in ahead of time, you can make it really simple: I don't know how to do it in rust(lemmy is written in rust), but here's a neat example of how to do it in Go: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/710 which requires no complicated configuration.

An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization.

I also wish write.as were more popular. It's like old Medium, but less popular but with a more reader-friendly business model and self-host-able (AGPL v3)

And since you've mentioned you want to write a blog, take a look at WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/
