#AskFedi
Anyone know if there's any way to port birdsite followers to here anymore, since Elno made the API $$?
Movetodon is down, for example.
Was hoping to claw back some of the timeline from that at least, as I haven't deleted everything from the old account there.

Je voulais demander à des amies de quitter Twitter pour venir sur Mastodon. Selon moi les outils du genre #fedifinder #movetodon #Twitodon #debirdify sont la meilleure chose pour que ça marche. Le.viens de découvrir que cet outil ( https://www.sky-follower-bridge.dev/fr/ ) existe pour Bluesky. Ne serait il pas possible d'en recréer pour Mastodon? Enfin, si ça existe, je suis preneur. 😉

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?
Je me suis dit que ça valait le coup de refaire un coup de Movetodon pour retrouver des camarades qui auraient migré depuis.
Mais j'ai découvert que l'outil était mort à cause des modifications tarifaires de l'API.
Vous connaissez des outils similaires ?
Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich kann bei all der Tragik rund um #twitter einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert der #news nicht leugnen. Jetzt trendet die falsche #threadsapp weil Menschen einfach wie Lemminge doof im #AppStore auf eine App klicken, die den selben Namen trägt wie #metas neues "Gefängnis". #Mastodon ist zumindest unique.

@amv_ac ce qui est pénible c'est qu'il a aussi tué les outils qui permettaient de retrouver des gens comme #Movetodon. Du coup faut y aller à la main et/ou demander…
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 ☕ 🍀
#TwitterDown #NieuwHier #Welkom #twittermigration #MoveToDon
Und immer noch frage ich mich, weshalb es Menschen nach wie vor zu #twitter zieht? Chaos, schlechter Service und ein Psychopath können es ja wohl nicht sein 🤔.

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!
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@toad.social & his team have come up with an excellent replacement for the now-defunct @debirdify & #MoveToDon tools!
Did a test on #Twitter if just mentioning #Mastodon will get you shadowbanned.
The answer seems to be... yes.
Try posting: "🐘 Join M*stod*n"
- Even if you censor the word
- Could also be because of OCR of the image

Der Niedergang von #twitter schreitet voran! Wenn nun auch noch Accounts von unliebsamen, investigativen Journalisten gesperrt werden, dann ist das Netzwerk wirklich tot.
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.
#FediTip #movetodon #MastodonTips
Just a reminder that the API change is still delayed. The #TwitterMigration tools still work, for now! 😎
So, if there are still people on twitter that you want to help join #Mastodon, now is the last chance to help them find their network here! 😃

(It seems that #Twitter never planned out how to process payments for the paid service! 😂)
Here are the vague notices about delays: 😏 (1st on Monday, then yesterday).
