Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich kann bei all der Tragik rund um #twitter einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert der #news nicht leugnen. Jetzt trendet die falsche #threadsapp weil Menschen einfach wie Lemminge doof im #AppStore auf eine App klicken, die den selben Namen trägt wie #metas neues "Gefängnis". #Mastodon ist zumindest unique.

@nomatic @FediFinder I don't see how that violates GDPR. I can maybe see an anti-trust angle, but I don't really know anything about law.

Personally I'd be surprised if there were a law that mandates free (or cheap) API access for third parties.

Banning and without explanation and without responding to inquiries was an unfair move from Twitter for sure (although probably not illegal), but since Twitter has been announcing that they would shut down all API access for everyone anyway I think it would be hard to pursue that angle anyway.

Good morning folx of the #Fediverse :fediverse: In today's #ConnectionList #Introduction #FollowFriday post, where I use my large follower count to more richly connect us together, I'd like you to meet:

@andreiz - Andrei is a #coder, #foodie, #photographer and #traveler, who also loves #beer 👋

@sdbreslin is Sam and she has recently moved instances. She's a #researcher of #gender, #ComputerScience, #engineering and #entrepreneurship 👋

@Frederik_Borgesius is a #Professor of #Law at #iHub, and does interdisciplinary #research on #digitalization and #society 👋

@agvbergin is a former #technical #editor who worked in #publishing, and is now in #WebDev, with a focus on #a11y 👋

Dr @alexbfree is a #research #engineer, and holds a #PhD in human #data #relations. 👋

@Tibor is a #journalist, #dev and into #data, and is the creator of #Movetodon, which was recently shut down by Melon Usk as part of the Twitter API restrictions. Boo. 👋

Don't forget to create your own lists of folks to follow ❤️

I just now finally got around to migrating my #follows, #followers, and #lists from #Twitter to #Mastodon. It was super easy, and the feeling of #liberation is palpable.

I used #Debirdify (debirdify.pruvisto.org/), and I highly recommend it. You simply login on Debirdify with your #birdsite account, select which lists of people you want to migrate, export them as one or more #CSV files, and then import those files in your Mastodon preferences under "Import and export."

Note: The #API that Debirdify uses to export your data for you will be shut off on Thursday, February 9th, and #SpaceKaren might cut it off even sooner than that if he feels like it, so if you've been #procrastinating on this (like I was), get on it immediately!

debirdify.pruvisto.orgDebirdifyThis 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.

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:
