So when Twitter shuts down its API access in a week, migration tools like the great https://movetodon.org from @Tibor will stop working. If you want to migrate your followers do it now!
Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

It looks like Twitter might have shut down Movetodon early. The App disappeared from my authorized apps and I can’t reauthorize it. @Tibor
If you’re still trying to move, https://debirdify.pruvisto.org is still working right now. You have to export your followers manually though and then reimport the csv on your Mastodon instances web interface (your account settings have a point to import/export stuff).
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.

@moehrenfeld
https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ still works as well (also with manual export and import).

@moehrenfeld @Tibor Der Link funktioniert komischerweise nur mit www. https://www.movetodon.org/ sonst landet man auf einem Umzugspost vom Tibor
Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

@MrLaCave @moehrenfeld gefixt, Danke!
@Tibor I'm getting http error 500 from movetodon - is that just overload? @MrLaCave @moehrenfeld
@pjakobs @Tibor @MrLaCave Its also vanished from my connected apps which is at least strange.
@moehrenfeld
So maybe, Elon has decreed that the API be closed for those apps already. You gotta make sure it's hard for people to flee the country.
Good old dictatorship thinking.
@Tibor @MrLaCave
@moehrenfeld @Tibor Netflix— kind of like an old cable box with a cable, connecting you to a single location?
@moehrenfeld @Tibor
I found hundreds of tweeps on mastodon, but the follow process is painful. I need to follow each one individually. (On iPhone)
@mysturji @moehrenfeld @Tibor You can always screenshot them and then take your time.
@moehrenfeld Had no idea this even existed... I know what I am doing now!
@moehrenfeld @Tibor this isn’t working for me
@moehrenfeld @Tibor I just used this and it worked great. Nice and easy to navigate and I found a bunch of people I was looking for. Thank you
@moehrenfeld @Tibor this has made a massive difference in my experience ... highly recommended if you are looking for some familiars.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor
Ich weiß nicht wieso, aber mir wird ne weirde/falsche Website Vorschau/Thumbnail angezeigt...
@moehrenfeld @Tibor I’d like a tool that will send a message to all my followers not yet on Mastodon to follow me on Mastodon! Maybe people I'm following on Twitter too!
@moehrenfeld Anyone still on Twitter can stay there, as far as I'm concerned.

@Gustodon @moehrenfeld

Knowing the 1930's nazi blimp program was nazi propaganda, assuming everyone else did too, wouldn't prevent me from stopping friends from flying on the Hindenburg.

@kevinrns I have to assume that anyone still using Twitter is comfortable with the smell of burning hydrogen, as it were.

@Gustodon

No, pretty sure, most, even progressive paying some attention, have no real clue about the issues around Elron, white supremacy, incompetent arrogance and the billionaire theft of free speech.

No tweet about twitter manipulation is delivered, no tweet about stuffing far right accounts into timeslines is delivered.

possibly a concerted DM campaign would work.

@kevinrns One way or another, the people you're describing have failed an important test.

I'm glad you're thinking about it. You're a better person than I am.

@Gustodon

Elron is helping by clusterific dangerous arrogance each day, so its ongoing.

@Gustodon

But yes on the hydrogen leaks being a good warning.

@Gustodon @kevinrns what does burning hydrogen smell like? I would have thought that, having no byproduct but water, would be an odorless reaction.

@Dridge3770 @kevinrns

Busted...

The smell of burning canvas?

@Dridge3770 @Gustodon

No product but water. How smart we could be.

@Gustodon @moehrenfeld they’ve chosen their side, that’d be the fascist one. What pisses me off is some artists I used to really respect claim they stay there to fight, what a crock of shit.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor My God, they are closing the border. All those poor Twitts.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor ooh, noo, is this for real?... I am not ready to let go.. lol.. still have some optimistic hope of new leadership there...
@sarahkmels @moehrenfeld @Tibor Bahahahaha, he took a poll, they told him to leave, he said he was going to leave but weeks after that he is still there & not even talking about leaving, he is just shutting the door to people who have created tools that make it easy to leave...🤣
@moehrenfeld @Tibor @bpettichord Good advice. Unfortunately if T has blocker one’s account one can no longer take advantage of it. If you still have an account in good standing, do this soon. You never know when T will decide to block you for “reasons”.
@moehrenfeld Thanks for making this tool, @Tibor!!
@moehrenfeld @Tibor @danvanmoll I am waiting for the day they shut down for good
Due to the latest non-surprise announcement from Twitter, I finally used this great tool by @Tibor and it worked perfectly.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor thanks for the tip. I used a similar tool before, but this one seems more user-friendly in finding followers.

Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

@moehrenfeld @Tibor Oh, now I see why Twitter's shutting it down. They think it'll help stop people from emigrating.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor if they missed the last wave, they will have to do it the old fashioned way.
@tsh2 @moehrenfeld @Tibor I just had a look at it... am not sure about trusting my login info. there... seems too easy to get 'hacked' or something... I'll do it the old fashioned way, over time; for time saved in convenience is merely an opportunity to get hacked or something, potentially.. 🤷‍♀️

@moehrenfeld @Tibor

It is hard to get people to follow here

They are spread out they various platforms

@moehrenfeld Allredy d8one. This meeI am going to miss followiing certain news sources, but not a big deal for me.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor Tried it now and that only netted me only six more follows here.

@moehrenfeld @Tibor I'd also like to point out #FediFinder ( https://fedifinder.glitch.me ) which helped me find one more person that #Movetodon didn't. There might be more resources out there too!

Edit: added the URL for FediFinder.

@moehrenfeld @Tibor Thanks for posting! 353 found in Teitter I hadn’t discovered here. Now following them all here as well 🙋🏻‍♀️
@moehrenfeld @Tibor And there is this thread on it that is showing mostly if not all negative views in response to it.

@moehrenfeld @Tibor Yeah I am gett ting Error 500 on #movetodon right now. Stampede!
@moehrenfeld @Tibor Just checked and movetodon.org is up but it's no longer scanning accounts. Bummer but understandable.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor I wonder if this will affect Rainbowstream.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor doesn’t open on my phone.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor for some reason I get a white, blank screen when attempting step 1 (log in to Twitter)
@moehrenfeld @Tibor Go figure, it ain't letting me rn. I don't know if the Android app is acting up, or if it's cause my login info isn't working on browser now.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor Twitter is shutting down its API?? Won't that break every single website with a Sign In With Twitter option? God, it's still a mess.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor The screen just goes white when I click the log into twitter button 🤔😭
@moehrenfeld @Tibor just tried this. Just a blank white screen on Firefox and safari on macOS Ventura.
@moehrenfeld @Tibor I already migrated most of my list (the ones who were here), but I just tried and ran into an Error 500 page where I would have (re-)logged into Twitter. Is the API that Movetodon uses already dead or something?
@moehrenfeld @Tibor THANK YOU! this worked yesterday and I got a bunch of people moved over. Today I get a blank screen too.
