Tibor MartiniI developed a tool to show you your twitter friends on #mastodon: https://www.movetodon.org/
👉 All data stays in your browser
👉 No CSV import neccesary
👉 List can be sorted by sign-up date, so that you can find new accounts fast
Erik MoellerAwesome! Is it open source?
I think the requests re: open source are because it would help to alleviate any concerns about how the tool manages/processes data.
Since a _lot_ of folks are using it now to migrate accounts this seems like a reasonably big deal and would make me personally more comfortable in recommending it.
It's true that as a hosted tool there's still a remaining element of trust, of course.
Do you have any plans in this regard or are you planning to keep it closed for the foreseeable future?
@eloquence not at the moment. I see no advantage for me personally in doing so and I haven’t used github for a long time, so I would’ve to put some effort into this. And no advantage, but effort is not a good deal.
Please also keep in mind for whom this tool was built: For people who just want a simple solution. Not managing CSVs. Not having to care about anything that looks like code. Other people may use open source CSV solutions if that makes them happy. It wasn’t built for them anyways.
Understood. The argument for open source is more about code auditability, which gives folks who _are_ capable of doing that more comfort in recommending the tool to others.
It's also more in line with Mastodon's philosophy -- after all, you're helping folks migrate to a network that's built entirely on open source software :)
Your call of course - just making the case for in a hopefully non-badgering way!
