Currently setting up a mastodon instance and it looks like all requests have a 20 second delay added. It's driving me crazy!
Anyone knows what's up? My google-fu is giving me nothing
So they are all green right now, and the fetching tweets part works from my computer and CI, but not from any of the servers... The approach of fetching tweets from the embeds doesn't seem to work....
FML, and back to the drawing board!
I will continue with something homegrown for users and individual tweets, but I'm thinking if I should add a dependency on nitter to fetch timelines 🤔
The lead dev has timelines working again already: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983#issuecomment-1684070343
While having everything built-in is neat, strategies to crawl are getting more complicated and it's starting to take a lot of time to re-implement things in C#

@vincent I'm loving the conflicting poll responses so far. "Fixing bird isn't worth it! But you should do it!"

I have also been prototyping bird.makeup for Instagram, which will be called kilogram.makeup.
Should I focus my energy on that instead?

Having said that, with the new restrictions, I can make bird.makeup work again but with severe limitations: only posts with lots of likes will be forwarded.
Is that worth doing?

@jerome I designed bird.makeup from the beginning to rely on endpoints that would break major use-cases of their product like yours if they ever remove them.
Turns out Elon is perfectly willing to break them, which completely blows my mind

"a fascinating way to show users the refresh rate of their screen by spinning a specially designed zoetrope-like disc graphic at speed. As it spins, the numbers representing the viewer’s refresh rate should remain visually stable unlike surrounding numbers."

Looks like Twitter has made it so that when you look up a profile without being logged in, you see posts ranked by likes instead of by time. This will be a problem…

@troy Ah, that's an interesting approach!
@adam @jorijn@toot.community That or interactions from fediverse users with replicated accounts
@malamoffo I'm on a server without DMs
Guys I didn’t change anything yet and bird.makeup started working again 🤯
@troy what software do you use? Do you have a git somewhere?
@troy I have some workarounds already, interested in collaborating?
@dodoandthebrawn @aidasb @sportsbots Interesting! I don't think their stuff is open source though
