it's only "AI" if it comes from the san francisco bay area . otherwise it's just sparkling autocomplete

Wow: As the UK pound continues to fall, increasingly cash-strapped Britons are giving up Starbucks and resorting to "tee," a type of flavored water historically popular in their culture.
So Patreon gives the twitter handle of my supporter, but there is no easy way to do the same with fediverse handle 😤
Would have made my life so easy giving perks to subs!
2 big milestone overnight on bird.makeup: 5000 users following 10000 twitter handles!
Also someone subscribed to 500 new twitter handle in one go so the service is a bit behind until it catches up....
Please consider supporting it if you like the service https://www.patreon.com/birddotmakeup 😄

Hello! I am now on mastodon!
After the scale increase from this weekend on bird.makeup, we are now pulling 400GB of tweets PER DAY. Unreal
Right now QT on bird.makeup show up as a link to the thread on twitter.com. Should I make a native UI on bird.makeup to show the thread?
If you have a strong opinion, why?
Just deployed a fix for bird.makeup, threads should now be properly replicated

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!

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

In the last 24 hours, bird.makeup pulled 127Gb of tweets (just the text and metadata and no media) from Twitter
🤯 🤯 🤯

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:
