#movetodon — Public Fediverse posts

Old account Jan 25, 2023

Just used #twitodon (https://twitodon.com/) and #Movetodon (https://www.movetodon.org/) to find some of the people I follow on Twitter. They work in different ways, so I recommend both.

Are there any functioning tools out there that are paying for #TwitterAPI access so that they can continue to offer great tools like #fedifinder #movetodon #Twitodon #debirdify etc used to be able to offer? i.e. helping to find your #Twitter #X contacts on #Mastodon?

Limited #exercise today due to a very disrupted sleep last night - I did 20mn of gentle #yoga

Goedemorgen
Vooral voor de nieuwkomers en terugkeerders uit de vogelkooi!
Ik stond op 't punt te vragen om bepaalde dingen niet te doen, toen ik dacht: hoho, ik zou focussen op het goede!
En zo'n netwerk dat jaren heeft gekost om op te bouwen, verlaten - ik snap dat dat een soort rouw- en afkickproces is. Maar het went!

Dus: wees vooral welkom. Hopelijk ga je hier veel oude en nieuwe contacten vinden en goede gesprekken voeren ☕ 🍀

As we're in the midst of another migration wave and this times sites reliant on the #twitter #API like #movetodon and #debirdify no longer work, remember it's massively more important than ever to boost posts and hashtag everything, stumbling across people you followed on the bird site is going to be harder than ever for new arrivals.

@nomatic @FediFinder I don't see how that violates GDPR. I can maybe see an anti-trust angle, but I don't really know anything about law.

Personally I'd be surprised if there were a law that mandates free (or cheap) API access for third parties.

Banning #Movetodon and #Debirdify without explanation and without responding to inquiries was an unfair move from Twitter for sure (although probably not illegal), but since Twitter has been announcing that they would shut down all API access for everyone anyway I think it would be hard to pursue that angle anyway.

Very pissed that Elno killed #movetodon. >:(

Charles Gaba posted about this friend finding tool on Twitter

"HEY EVERYONE LOOKING TO MOVE TO MASTODON *OR* SPOUTIBLE:

I know tools like #Debirdify & #Movetodon are gone now thanks to Musk, but scafaria has come up w/a new tool which helps you find Twitter users who have accounts on both Mastodon & #Spout!

https://whosum.com/

WhoSum is a Chrome extension which scrapes your follower/following lists (or anyone's, really) & stores an archive of accounts with Mastodon accounts in their bios/profiles...but it also lets you search for accounts w/URLs w/*any* phrase"

@charlesgaba @scafaria Just FYI the API access isn't gone yet. #Fedifinder still works.

It's just that they suspended #Movetodon and #Debirdify (without giving a reason) but not #Fedifinder (not yet at least).

📣 OK, this is fantastic! @scafaria & his team have come up with an excellent replacement for the now-defunct @debirdify & #MoveToDon tools!

At the moment, #Movetodon is not working properly. Movetodon needs to use the API of Twitter and Twitter has blocked our access to the API, mentioning it would “violate Twitter Rules and policies.”

Here on the #Fediverse we don't have algorithms, but there are tools that can perform functions that are similar.

For example suggesting people to follow. This is a website that looks at who your friends follow to show you people you might be interested in.

PSA for people who have not completed their #TwitterMigration: #movetodon has not been working for a while, but #debirdify still is. Find the accounts you used to follow on Twitter with https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/

@kirt @[email protected] @feditips @[email protected] AFAIK #debirdify works (at least for me), no global API changes were deployed so far. Only #movetodon was likely singled out and suspended: https://mastodon.social/@Tibor/109800904950500383

On February 9, Twitter will cut its free API access. Last chance to use the migration tools below or similar services to find Mastodon handles. Revoke access for connected apps in your settings afterwards.

#Debirdify: https://debirdify.pruvisto.org

#Twitodon: https://twitodon.com
#MastodonFlock: https://mastodon-flock.vercel.app
#Movetodon (blocked): https://movetodon.org

Auf #twitter wird jetzt die #API blockiert mit der z.B. #moa und #TwitterMigration mit #Movetodon oder #Debirdify funktionierten.

Wir versuchen nach dieser Anleitung
https://hyperborea.org/journal/2017/12/mastodon-ifttt/
von @KelsonV #ifttt zu benutzen, um weiter Artikel per #RSS auf #Mastodon zu bringen.

Leider klappt es noch nicht. Bitte retröten für Hilfe bei der Fehlersuche (vgl. Screenshot).
@moomendemol

I just now finally got around to migrating my #follows, #followers, and #lists from #Twitter to #Mastodon. It was super easy, and the feeling of #liberation is palpable.

I used #Debirdify (https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/), and I highly recommend it. You simply login on Debirdify with your #birdsite account, select which lists of people you want to migrate, export them as one or more #CSV files, and then import those files in your Mastodon preferences under "Import and export."

Note: The #API that Debirdify uses to export your data for you will be shut off on Thursday, February 9th, and #SpaceKaren might cut it off even sooner than that if he feels like it, so if you've been #procrastinating on this (like I was), get on it immediately!

#TwitterMigration #Movetodon

Diese Überlegung ist – wieder – aktuell, nachdem Twitter nun #Movetodon und Co. den API-Zugriff abgedreht hat.

@Tibor
The irony that "Twitter Rules and policies" have clearly been adjusted so that #Movetodon now violates them, I don't think has been lost on anyone.

I have never used Movetodon, but I recognise its value to anyone who wants to support a free and federated network. Thank you for your hard work.

Als Alternative zu #MoveToDon (was ja nicht mehr funktioniert) gibt es auch noch das wunderschöne Mastodon Flock, Accounts von Twitter bei Mastodon wiederzufinden.

https://mastodon-flock.vercel.app

Así que Elmo ha cortado el acceso a la API a #movetodon (la mejor opción para encontrar a usuarios de tuiter en mastodon) una semana antes de hacerla de pago.

Como decía, el éxodo de usuarios le está pasando factura, pese a sus alardes de cómo tuiter está batiendo récords de usuarios y bla, bla, bla.

Facta non verba.
