Many new people on the fediverse this week, and thus many discovering bird.makeup for the first time!

I wrote a thing this week in response to all the questions I got asked, about why (surprisingly) opt-outs would be counter-productive, and other stuff:

git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeu

First thing I wanted to explore is porting the twitter algo to the fediverse: github.com/twitter/the-algorit

(And all experiments would be opt-in, so your experience can stay vanilla mastodon if that is what you wish)

Thinking of starting a mastodon instance for myself and for past and current patreon supporter, where I could develop more fediverse projects I want to create.

Is that something that you would be interested in?

(and of course bird.makeup would never get banned on it)

So I've been optimizing the number of calls I make to twitter this week ( git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeu ) and the error rate has been going down a lot.

It seems the user endpoint is the only one rated limited, so all the errors left are coming from that. You'll see that when looking at a profile or when trying to follow.

Still have many ideas on how I could optimize this further

“Cancel culture” is just what conservatives call “the free market” when it does something they don’t like.

bird.makeup builds are green again! builds.sr.ht/~cloutier/job/102

Still some errors right now related to rate limiting, but it is catching up to what it missed since the login wall

@smallsco not really, they are other projects out there that do exactly that, and there are many accounts setup for rss feeds especially on botsin.space

Also RSS doesn’t map too well to activitypub, I prefer to focus on other social networks for future expansions
