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!

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! 😇

@tzeejay Not sure what you are referring to, but mastodon.social will ban all instances of twitter replicators. You will have to move server if you want to use them

So with the API suspension to third party bird apps, it looks like I'm over here full time. @vincent's bridge service bird.makeup allows me to maintain the curated experience I had over there, & as people flow over to Mastodon, I can follow their native accounts. As a previous Tweetbot user, I'm keen for @paul & co's Ivory Mastodon app, but am sad for all the unseen work put into version 7.2 of Tweetbot which was only out for a handful of days before the API wars began.

@mactenchi It's enabled! You have to chose "make a custom pledge" and it seems to only be on mobile. Thank you !

discord has ruined the definition of the word "server" for potentially an entire generation of people

@jesscourtney You have to check the server policy, but here are the most popular servers that fetch from bird.makeup if you have a vibe-match with one of those:
