☹️
https://movetodon.org/ was working a few hours ago, but it might be swamped now with everyone rushing to use it! 😮 (Or maybe twitter has blocked it early?) 🤔
I get this error when Movetodon tried to log into twitter: 😞

#Debirdify is still working, for now! 😃
They all are right now. But developer APIs, which most of these free services use to access Twitter, are being shut down in 1 week. Not much warning for thousands of tools and utility devs and users, but, y’know better than when they just turned all their other APIs off with no warning and then didn’t admit it for days.
Scroll up for the error message I started getting for Movetodon. ☹️
But I'll try it again now.
*Edit, nope! ☹️

Unfortunately, we have official word that #Twitter blocked #Movetodon on purpose! 😞

Fortunately, the others still work (for now!)

There's another new alternative to #Movetodon, called #MastodonFlock ! (I haven't tried it yet, but I will later tonight. )
At first glance, it looks like it might combine the best of the other tools, logging into Mastodon to see who you already follow, AND providing a CSV at the end! So it's got some flexibility! 😎
Here it is:

Yes, that was hilarious! 😂
I have been using Apple since 2005, so that gave me quite the shock! 🤣 😆
@5ciFiGirl @andybaio @voxpelli Mind you, it limits you to follows, where Debirdify will give you follows/followers/lists
And also allows you to do it for other Twitter users.
Interesting!
@5ciFiGirl You can retrieve a similar list for a Twitter account if you enter their Twitter handle instead of your Mastodon one (format @[email protected]).
It will then scrape their Twitter account instead of yours and provide a similar list.
I still don't get it, lol! 😬
I don't give Debirdify my mastodon handle, just what is in my Twitter bio.
And I have to give it permission to scan my Twitter.
So I don't see where to put soomeone else's ID.
If there is some workaround, it doesn't sound like what it was designed for. 🤔
@cautionwip @andybaio @voxpelli
I tried #MastodonFlock ! It didn't find anyone I hadn't already found, but it worked! 😎
And it functions more like #Movetodon than the others do, so it's a good option to have out there. 😃
Also, here is a good detailed comparison of the different tools, and how they work: 😎

Given that twitter is going to start charging for api usage next week, but has neglected to give anyone any info about rates, I recommend running https://www.movetodon.org/ one last time while you still can. None of the migration tools will work after the 8th (give or take some timezones).
