You know, bird.makeup is INCREDIBLE. Not only does it get past the Birdsite's API limits, it correctly mirrors threads, replies, retweets and quote tweets. I understand some large instances block it, and I feel doing so is as stupid as Birdsite's API blocks are. It's an amazing tool for bridging the gap for some of the people who haven't found their way here yet, but should. #birdmakeup

@osma What instance do you use it on? Super disappointed mastodon.social blocks it

@osma @vincent I can’t figure out how to use it. Or if it’s being blocked by techhub.social, the instance I’m on.. if someone can explain both to me I’d appreciate the assistance

@jasonrak @osma Try again, there was a problem with new follows in the last 24h that was just fixed

@vincent @osma Vincent when you say try again, what do you mean?

@osma I like the idea of #birdmakeup, and I'm following a few folks through it, but... I feel weird boosting content through it. I worry that people on the Fediverse might not want to see birdsite content, and that the original authors (who don't consent to having their content mirrored) might feel weird if people on Mastodon are engaging with it.

@osma Did it quit working for you? Perhaps #fosstodon has banned it now, as well :(
