By the way, with Musk already cutting off @Tibor's Movetodon, it's likely that Debirdify and Fedifinder are not long for this world. Even if Musk doesn't kill them immediately, they'll likely die when the API fees kick in next week.

So if you're still on Twitter, or know people there, you might want to encourage them to at least set up accounts here now, before it becomes more difficult.

@mmasnick I know we don't know yet how much API access will cost but it seems like the kind of thing the community might be able to pitch in to keep at least one of these services running?

@Fyrd @mmasnick Probably better to just write a new one which completely bypasses the API. Web scraping is ugly, but at this point I don't think anyone gives a fuck in regards to Twitter.

You're partially right: choosing the lesser of two evils to help people escape is good, but giving Musk money ain't the lesser of those two evils. ;)

@adversary Yeah I think that'll probably wind up as the best way forward!
