@awilbert@mastodon.social this is fantastic for filling on those few accounts that I miss, thank you!

@awilbert@mastodon.social Help- I did it but don't know how to use it

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup Could ask WSPD if they have an RSS feed for the content they tweet (it's not in their main website). Government agencies should be using open platform/noncommercial communications methods first before commercial platforms. Good example why this is necessary: during recent mass shooting at UVA students didn't know whether to trust local police dept. Twitter feed, relied on ad hoc method instead.

@awilbert@mastodon.social thanks for developing this @vincent@social.librem.one https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/ How's it coping?

@cautionwip@mstdn.ca 2022-12-24 08:50
@awilbert@mastodon.social This is not only clever but quite thoughtful, and really addresses one of the critical issues a lot folks have with leaving Twitter. kudos!

@awilbert@mastodon.social Thank you, this is the exact use case I would need something like this
-
@pinkoos@med-mastodon.com 2022-12-24 13:46
@awilbert@mastodon.social doesn’t seem to be working? Bot account I created didn’t show a tweet that the corresponding twitter account just tweeted out

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup I think it will take community work to help automate and replicate. I worry state and county agencies wont have skills and resources to navigate mastodon without help. Sad, because we had such a groundswell of activity on twitter. I really depended on during Covid.

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup ooo nice tool, naming convention is entertaining too!

@hammancheez@masthead.social 2022-12-24 16:01
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup one of the actual good used cases for twitter that I’m not sure translates as well over here
-
@W6KME@mastodon.radio 2022-12-24 16:16
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup The usefulness of this cannot be overstated. Wow. Edit: I've copied all of the remaining emergency info accounts that haven't made the migration and haven't been turned into a bot by people like AI6YR. It really completes my move off the bird. I've copied a few personal follows as well-we can't interact or reply to their tweets, but at least I will know if they tweet something that makes it worth logging into the bird to see. Amazing tool.👌

@davidmiller@masto.ai 2022-12-24 16:17
@awilbert@mastodon.social I'm definitely going to check that out because there are definitely useful Twitter accounts that are unlikely to migrate anytime soon. The only other thing I'd like for Mastodon is the ability to @ public officials (that means they need to get over here)—I don't want to lose the ability to have the productive/direct conversations that sometimes happen over there.

@Kygrlinillinois@c.im 2022-12-24 16:18
@awilbert@mastodon.social thank you. I just tried it for one of my essential accts on the birdsite, hope it works. If it does I may be able to totally ditch twitter.
-
@jnavarra@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 16:19
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup tbh institutions should be standing up their own mastodon installations already for communications.
-
@psefsu@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 16:27
@awilbert@mastodon.social @deandad@masto.ai I have been thinking the same thing. One of my primary use cases for the birdsite is following other #highered / #communitycollege institutions and #emergencymanagement accounts for news alerts.

@punditpending@med-mastodon.com 2022-12-24 16:27
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup This is incredible
-
@dimerhunton@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 16:29
@awilbert@mastodon.social Wow, if this works as intended, it’s incredible.
-
@christopher@mastodon.schulte.org 2022-12-24 16:29
@awilbert@mastodon.social Brilliant! The server looks overloaded (red bar at 277% in attached image)… is this a POC to get others to run these bridges or is this server going to be a ‘public service’ instance?
-
@BikingViking@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 16:30
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup I created a couple but it's not showing anything. Does it take time before they start showing the tweets?
-
@aethervision@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 16:33
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup Thanks. The very info I need right now.
-
@dougwade@mastodon.xyz 2022-12-24 16:37
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup this is incredible! I'm guessing this isn't free, so I won't follow my first urge to add a bot for every account I follow, but I've created five and it's awesome.
-
@mostlyharmlessz@muskless.social 2022-12-24 16:49
@wspd7pio@bird.makeup @awilbert@mastodon.social wow this is really easy to use, just followed @wallstcynic@bird.makeup in about 15 seconds

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @drewharwell@mastodon.social what a great bot!!!! Thank you.
-
@BenPaddon@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 17:41
@awilbert@mastodon.social Oh, this is fantastic! One thing I was lamenting when deleting the Twitter app from my phone was that I wouldn't get notifications from the LA Metro Alerts account anymore. Just fixed that! Thanks for sharing, and thanks to @vincent@social.librem.one for going to the trouble of making it.

@jrefior@hachyderm.io 2022-12-24 17:42
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one My position on this hasn't changed: https://hachyderm.io/@jrefior/109569549351337370 Organizations should consider the implications of any delay in getting off Twitter. Most police departments are unlikely to move because they are Trump-supporting enforcers of a racial caste system. Content warning for image: example of police union supporting and advertising for Trump -------------------------------- #Twitter #Trump #racism

@falken@qoto.org 2022-12-24 18:27
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup been trying to do this in my own server for ages, don't need to now, thanks

@shanen@mastodon.social 2022-12-24 18:58
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one Hmm... From the description I can't decide if this is the kind of feature I wish I could support. It's my old #CSB delusions again... One feature I wish I could pay for would fix the hashtag warning that seems to oblige me to use global posting... Or most likely I'm not understanding how to use Mastodon or hashtags properly.

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one This is SO USEFUL! I just made one for my local Department of Public Works. @btvdpw@bird.makeup

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one The lack of authentication options is making it difficult for gov agencies to sign up I think -- they don't know which server they should sign up on the be considered a real deal. Maybe that isn't as important on such a small platform though
-
@Drew@urbanists.social 2022-12-25 03:43
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup so when (if) the real account comes online, how do you systematically replace the boy account?
-
@KIT_strong_WING@mastodontech.de 2022-12-25 08:35
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup german authorities already have migrated or are about to migrate using federal Mastodon instances like social.bund.de :) when hosted in the right instance, it makes external verification of official accounts obsolete as well

@goochjs@mas.to 2022-12-25 09:26
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one Perfect! @raf_luton@bird.makeup 😁

@mcfly@milliways.social 2022-12-25 11:49
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup For the US i assume? For germany / Europe they are mostly already here (and never were really on twitter)

@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one In response to a few questions/frustrations here about BirdSiteLive reflectors: 1) They work 2) Sometimes they get overloaded 3) You can run your own lightly loaded reflector https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive 4) Only new posts show up once you add a handle to follow Hope that helps
-
@Ekas@mastodon.social 2022-12-25 14:06
@wspd7pio@bird.makeup @vincent@social.librem.one @awilbert@mastodon.social Very good idea. I tested with 3 accounts, which was easy, but none of them is generating toots from tweets after 24hours.

@aristeon@tooting.ch 2022-12-25 14:11
@awilbert@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup institutional accounts should come over here, I don't understand why they stick to the birdsite.
