X bookmarks disappearing? Keep a copy that stays

When a post is deleted or an account goes private, the bookmark goes with it. Keep your own copy of every X bookmark, with its text and photos.

A bookmark on X points at someone else's post. When they delete it, lock their account or get suspended, the post leaves your bookmarks too. A copy in Cavvi doesn't depend on the post staying up.

Keep a copy of every bookmark

Add Cavvi for Chrome and sign in to X in that browser.
Export your X bookmarks into Cavvi.

Each post is kept in your library on your Mac: its full text, author, date and photos, as ordinary files.

Keep new bookmarks too

With Cavvi for Chrome installed, bookmarking a post on X saves it to Cavvi at the same moment. Nothing else to remember.

Questions

What about videos?

Videos and GIFs are kept as their cover picture, with the post's text and a link back to it.

Can I keep a backup of the copies?

Yes. They're files in your home folder, so Time Machine backs them up, and sync keeps them on your other devices. See Where your library lives.
