Oh yeah Twitter… that place I go to find people’s mastodon addresses.
I'm goin' viral! Tip your admin, people…
@torgo you should post a link to your funkwhale
@torgo that's the only thing I use it for too.
Seems I struck a nerve. If nothing else this is proving to me that this is the federated social web’s moment.
@torgo As the instance you use connects to more alternate instances you'll find that the basic 'search' option will start to show other people from just their name (searching for 'daniel' just now I see lots of people I don't know, for example)
@torgo In much the same way Explorer is an app that lets you download Chrome.
@rjblaskiewicz @torgo chrome is what you need to tell google that you're downloading Firefox, right?
@artfulrobot @rjblaskiewicz @torgo Well, I used to run Windows to run a PDF viewer to slow slides to students. Literally the only thing I used Windows for, and that only because the classroom had a Windows machine.
@torgo And to downvote display ads to fuck with their scoring algorithm, ofc.
@torgo This is thankfully my pattern over the past few days as well!
@torgo
Have you seen this site? It lists all you follow there who are on here, so you can click their link here to follow. There are 2 other sites that do this too.
@ESugarloaf why can't I see any link?

Debirdify

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

@torgo this is the way😎
@torgo I’m waiting to see if Twitter survives World Cup n football traffic or if we get the fail wail
@torgo https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ Check out this application someone made, it pulls all of your follows and sees if they’ve posted a Mastadon account

@torgo Laughing hysterically… but still so lame at this I’m looking up what to click on next to even comment (yea, even after watching the “to do” videos) 
@torgo See? Birdsite's still good for something.
@torgo I'm dahunt1962 on Twitter; LOL!
@torgo I've literally only been checking it to see when my old Twitter friends finally update with their Mastodon. It's funny my account was suspended for fighting with an actual white supremacist. Heated words were used, and yet Elon has done nothing to reinstate me. Wonder why the Blood Emerald Trust Fund baby doesn't see an issue with White Supremacy.
@torgo Same. I guess the birdapp is still good for something.
@torgo Mostly, that's where I am now. Interacting on Twitter only to connect on Mastodon, but I can't entirely keep myself from stopping to eyeball the train wreck while I'm there.
@torgo I wish I could go to get addresses but they permanently suspended me for really nothing.
@torgo
When I log in to scrape and drop masto posts I feel like I'm dropping billets from a plane over a conscripted army that really doesn't want to be there. 😂
@metamorview
@torgo Thats hilarious because its true. Its also like Internet Explorer was the go to way to download Chrome.

@torgo @tbluvoter

LOL. So true for me today!

@torgo it’s becoming SO TRUE!!
@torgo me too! More and more people tweeting their mastodon address!
@torgo Twitter is the Internet Explorer of social media now. You use it to get the thing you actually want.
@torgo that is exactly what I have been doing
@torgo me too! I’m using a break on a night shift to shift between the two!
@torgo After a quarter-century of social media, it is going to be interesting to see how the shattering of Twitter into tens of thousands of uncorralled pieces is going to play out.
@torgo Don't bother going to Twitter for that: use #Debirdify instead. Get a CSV file of your Twitter follows who're also on Mastodon, then import it to your server. I'll be repeating this exercise at weekly intervals.
@torgo
For me that sums up Twitter now
