This is interesting. Can be very useful for handles that we need here but are not willing to shift here.
@commandlinekid made a few Twitter-to-Mastdon accounts so we can read Birdsite content here on Mastodon. please send @commandlinekid a list of handles you think needs a bot.
The few India bots already made:
narendramodi
@narendramodi
PMOIndia
@PMOIndia
BBC India
@bbcindia
@commandlinekid @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad i would love to have @advaidism bot here
@IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @narendramodi @PMOIndia @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism
Great idea.
Here are a few suggestions to keep us posted here about the news:
1) @Ani
2) @ndtv
3) @indianexpress
4) @the_hindu
Will suggest more.
@Memeghnad @commandlinekid @narendramodi @PMOIndia @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness
Check Prabhas bot👌
@Deepsealioness
@Deepsealioness :) I made it. If you don't like I can kill it. But if you like I can keep it. Also, if you have a list of other people you think a lot of people would follow please send and I can make them.
Mastlist right now is... https://mastlist.blogspot.com/
@IndiasMuslims @Deepsealioness

4.) Internet Freedom Foundation
5.) The Economist
6.) The India Forum
7.) DownToEarth
8.) Human Rights Watch
Will add more.
@musafir @Memeghnad @IndiasMuslims @[email protected] @[email protected] @bbcindia @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Ani @ndtv
Done. I can't do more until evening time. Look at bottom of this page, under "Indian Bots." Best way to follow is to just "copy the name" and paste it into the Search bar of Mastodon. Then press enter and it will search for it.

No need to make bots is what Waaakest says:
@[email protected]
"yall dont need to make any of these bots cause they already exist through this service called birdsite.monster. just search @ twitterusername @ birdsite.monster and you can follow anyone on Twitter from here"
@Shudraism @digitaldutta @Memeghnad @IndiasMuslims @musafir @Deepsealioness
Does that work? Doesn't seem to work for me.
@IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @narendramodi @PMOIndia @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
To start with... IndiaExplained, AltNews, BoomFactcheck, Pratik Sinha, ZooBear
@IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @narendramodi @PMOIndia @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
Doesn't this break the cross-posting rules in the mastodon.social Code of Conduct
@probalc @IndiasMuslims @[email protected] @[email protected] @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
Any bots people ask to me make are on another server, you won't see them in the stream unless you follow them. Master list so far... (Indian bots at the bottom of the list) https://mastlist.blogspot.com/
@probalc @IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @[email protected] @[email protected] @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Memeghnad
I don't see a problem, we can avoid posting twitter links here, but IMO it is important to disseminate good ideas, and quality content for better conversations. Doesn't matter what the source is. Our problem is with the Bird Site only, not with the content posed there by our friends. Posting toot links would help popularizing Mastadon I feel. :)
@commandlinekid @Shudraism @probalc @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness I'm just going to follow the new bots really. It's useful to get information and news directly here instead of looking at Birdsite again and again.
Thank you for this.
@liaizon @Memeghnad @Shudraism @probalc @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness
Does that site work? I tried it but didn't get anything. I get the concept of making a site like that, I've thought of it. But they can shut that down so easily ultimately.
@liaizon @Memeghnad @Shudraism @probalc @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness
Also why would you immediately poop on what I made when you knew (I assume) that site you mentioned doesn't even work.
@liaizon @Memeghnad @Shudraism @probalc @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness
I just tried it from multiple instances and its not working.
Great if it does, I had that idea a long time ago but didn't make it because 1.) I wanted to spend my time getting the important accounts out there and 2.) Twitter ain't stupid, they'll shut that down in the second they want.
@IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @[email protected] @[email protected] @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad Blocking both Modi and PMO handles
Just like i did on twitter
@GreySasquatch @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
I'm not in support of anyone because I made the bot. People asked so I made it. It's like anything, just don't follow if you don't like it.
@commandlinekid @IndiasMuslims @bbcindia @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad good for you
I just don't want to see that Clown on my TL
@IndiasMuslims @commandlinekid @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
This is disturbing. Why is there a footer to the bot list at the end of every post? And why does the bot list website look like targeting Gab users? Why does that website suggest following a Gab account for more updates?
@sandipb @IndiasMuslims @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
What on earth did you just write?
A footer? I just retoot the damn tweet. I make it clear what I'm doing.
The website suggests following a gab account... .. That's just some account I made to notify people of new bots.
Do you enjoy making me type so much? Enjoy the free stuff I made on my own time. :)
@commandlinekid @IndiasMuslims @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
Whoa. Cool your heels. If the footer is not your doing, then my comment is not aimed at you, it is aimed at the source of the content, because that is what we see! :) We can't make out if the content is retooted as is, or something added in between!
I just want to make sure we don't end up promoting any Gab content here. Looks like that page falls in that category.
@sandipb @IndiasMuslims @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
First, this has nothing to do with Gab. That was just the bot retoot account I setup as it would get seen.
Secondly, on the footer, are you talking about the toot? I have a link to the bots there. I choose stupid Google because people would know it a safe site to click on.
You know what? I might even someday put up an ADVERTISEMENT if I found something people might like. Would that blow your stack?I could only hope.
@sandipb @IndiasMuslims @musafir @Deepsealioness @Shudraism @Memeghnad
Everyone should know one thing: I will re-toot that Tweet VERBATIM.
That is the "social contract" one would have in just being a good person.
THEN below that, if I want to put a link to the botlist... I'll do it. If I want to advertise old-lady underwear....I'll do it.
