Twitter has become a website I use to look up people's mastodon handles.
Omg I know about fedifinder
@seldo Yep, and not everyone correctly links their accounts together, which is why it can be necessary to look them up manually.
@seldo imagine waking up and going "oh i bet that laurie person doesn't know about fedifinder; they don't seem like they're super online"
@seldo It made a huge difference for me. In one shot, I was able to reconnect on Mastodon with the many worthies I followed on the Bird site, while at the same time significantly reducing the number of times I visit that hateful place.
@seldo I used http://fedifinder.glitch.me and later today I’m going to try http://movetodon.org
Fedifinder

Fediverse accounts of your X/Twitter followings

@angilly @seldo I used this as well and it's a spectacular tool
@seldo So basically Twitter has become the #InternetExplorer of the social Web?
@seldo I Thought it was just me.👻

@seldo I'm excited because now I'm finding excellent voices I knew from Twitter (like yours) because of my home timeline on mastodon exposing them.

That's a huge deal for me. It's a massive turning point.

@seldo can someone remake the meme for IE installing chrome for Twitter/mastadon?
@seldo There are apps that'll do it for you. 🙂
@seldo I’ve been doing this as well
@seldo Yep. I run movetodon every couple of weeks to catch people who are migrating. I no longer want anything to do with that trash fire.
@seldo @mekkaokereke which is probably why they just started preventing folks from adding links to them https://hachyderm.io/@ethanwhite/109521018608910133

Attached: 1 image #Twitter is now preventing users from linking to some popular Mastodon instances (specifically #hachyderm at least) in their profiles. The link is present in my active profile from a while ago, I went to update something else today as part of locking down the account and discovered that I couldn’t change anything with the link present.

@ethanwhite @seldo @mekkaokereke there’s this site that doesn’t rely on scrapping for links/addresses https://twitodon.com/

Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

@seldo I’m finally at point I’m ready to cut cord. I was primarily on there for tech Twitter and tech Twitter has become so toxic recently it not worth staying even for that.
@seldo That and to dunk on Twitter and Elon.
@seldo what about assassination coordinates?
@michaelcoyote those are on mastodon, apparently.
@seldo welcome to your new home.
@seldo Yes, that’s what I did until my account was suspended for suspicious (liberal) activity. Also, I had blocked Musk.
@seldo Me too! Pretty much have my Mastodon feed looking like my Twitter feed used to — minus a few favorite accounts either not having migrated over or not posting regularly here. I go to Twitter once a day to see if the missing ones have moved yet.
