Talk:August 2017 tweets
Should we continue to maintain this?
There's a few months-deep backlog of content which hasn't been added to Twitter, FB, Patreon pages like this one. How should we proceed?
I've noticed that articles lately have been linking directly to his Twitter for sources/quoting posts directly in relevant articles. Should we keep doing that and discontinue collection pages like this? Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 15:53, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
Any thoughts on this? Chris is so active on social media nowadays that it's difficult to keep up with archiving here. Screencaps at least exist on Kiwi Farms, which are faster to make, but spread across different threads. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 02:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Could we just archive Chris's tweets directly off Twitter without having to manually update and format for the wiki? It wouldn't have to be a live archive, just updated periodically. The archives wouldn't be as easily searchable as the wiki but would allow referencing if Chris tweeted something interesting without the risk of DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING that just linking to Twitter poses.

What would we use to archive? Something like archive.is ? Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 02:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
I think we should at least note down what he's posting. Doesn't matter if it's not formatted properly, that can always be done later, copying and pasting his Twitter's plaintext should be fine for now. --Shekelberg
We don't really have enough volunteers to cover it all.
Quotes could just be posted to the articles themselves. If it's only a partial quote, the reference could link to his twitter/FB/Patreon for the full text.
Kiwifarms has a much more complete archive than here, in the form of screencaps, spread over multiple threads and buried between comments, but at least it covers the issue of potential deletion by Chris. The pics are unsearchable, but can be used as references for articles here.Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 03:12, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- I stopped including timestamps when copying over the info. Should help speed things. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
