@smallsco You can now tweak that with: Instance__ParallelTwitterRequests=2 or whatever
Just deployed a fix for bird.makeup, threads should now be properly replicated

@Tehhund You can use nitter for that: https://nitter.net/POTUS/rss
@dansup Thank you, I joined!
I'm trying to make my twitter federator work with pixelfed, for accounts such as @dog_rates . Pixelfed seems to reject those accounts, but they work with mastodon. Is there anything I should change on my end to make it work?

FYI, if still missing your #traffic, #wx etc #news from over there, check out this Bird Makeup by @vincent
Just drop in thar Twitter handle here 👉 https://bird.makeup/
Cut/paste the new generated handle into Mastodon’s “Explore” box and follow it. Easy peas;)
I’ve already created quite a few for #seattle #PNW-focused sites (eg, SDOT, High Country) and it works great! Thanks, Vincent!
Of course, no idea if it too will be snared by 🐦 ongoing cancel culture 🤷🏻♀️

I made a graph of all my past relationships.
It has an ex axis and a why axis.

I'm happy to share that we're gearing up to support Mastodon in @buffer *very* soon! 🎉
I'm keen to be thoughtful about how we support Mastodon through the product and as a company: this is a very special community and technology. So we'll also be all ears as we introduce Buffer support.
We're looking for Buffer users (can be a brand new user, too!) to help us with early testing of our Mastodon support, so if you want to try it, reply here!
We crossed 4000 users overnight on bird.makeup! 🎊
Also since we are iterating on all followed twitter accounts in ~21 minutes right now, I am pretty sure we are already ready for the next 4000
Onwards!

A good critique of the Ai art lawsuit http://www.stablediffusionfrivolous.com #aiart
Is today the day that we hit 4000 users on bird.makeup? 👀

Can’t even make this up
After stealing and losing investors, friends, and institutions capital via the 3AC scheme, the same crew is now launching a new exchange called “GTX”
JFC, might as well just call it FTX 2.0

@smallsco I think that's a good idea. There a lot of magic numbers like that I should move to env vars.
In the last 24 hours, bird.makeup pulled 127Gb of tweets (just the text and metadata and no media) from Twitter
🤯 🤯 🤯
@lrz @doritc @thomasfuchs can I humbly suggest my projet bird.makeup? It’s a high-performance fork of birdsitelive that should replicate tweets within 20 minutes 😁

I don't want Mastodon to be a place where all I talk about is the continuing demise of Twitter, but...Twitter pulled the plug on all of the top third-party Twitter clients and Twitterrific's Craig Hockenberry has some things to say about it:
@tzeejay There are real time stats in the footer of the site. Currently 37 minutes to cycle through every twitter account
@SeoN8 Thank you!
For the tool it's possible to build it, and anyone can do so without having to change anything with bird.makeup. Personally I want to focus on scaling bird.makeup itself, so a tool like that would be quite low on my priorities, but if anyone wants to give it a go they are welcome to!
@bradthornborrow Thank you! I'm fetching tweets in a way that doesn't require their approval, so I feel pretty safe! 😇
