Former Twitter users struggle to access and move their archived posts
People leaving Twitter/X have downloaded archives but struggle to find tools that let them browse the data or bring posts to alternatives such as Bluesky. One person says a previously available tool, BlueArk, is down and is willing to pay for an import option. A related need is making Twitter threads readable outside the platform; transferring likes, followers, or every aspect of an account is not established by these signals.
For former Twitter users moving to alternative social platforms. Mentioned from Aug 2024 to Sep 2025 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

So now that BlueArk is down, where are the alternative free tools that this thread speaks of? I have my twitter archive as a zip that I would gladly pay to import to this site
What's that? Is there a tool to import tweets from Twitter archive?
