Asking because I'm not sure if it's still doable or not but... Is there a way to comb through following/followers on Twitter to find others that have Mastodon accounts? I used to use #Debirdify and #fedifinder but they both seem to be permanently down.

Would love to see if anyone new popped in anywhere but I follow way too many to check manually.

#Birdsite even killed #debirdify -_- Time for a new start with finding scientists and whatnot here...

Wondering if there is something like #fedifinder or #debirdify but for finding #Facebook friends on Mastodon. Or does anyone have any tips for quickly finding FB friends here some other way?

@dennishorn @gavinkarlmeier Hab gerade eine eurer aktuelleren „Haken dran“-Folgen gehört wo es auch um den API-Zugang bei Twitter ging.

Ich habe das Tool #Debirdify entwickelt und da wurde der API-Zugang vor einem Monate "suspended", angeblich wegen eines Regelverstoßes und ich hätte deshalb eine E-Mail bekommen.

Nur: Ich habe keine E-Mail bekommen und trotz mehrmaliger Nachfrage hat der Twitter-Support nicht reagiert.

Charles Gaba posted about this friend finding tool on Twitter

"HEY EVERYONE LOOKING TO MOVE TO MASTODON *OR* SPOUTIBLE:

I know tools like #Debirdify & #Movetodon are gone now thanks to Musk, but scafaria has come up w/a new tool which helps you find Twitter users who have accounts on both Mastodon & #Spout!

https://whosum.com/

WhoSum is a Chrome extension which scrapes your follower/following lists (or anyone's, really) & stores an archive of accounts with Mastodon accounts in their bios/profiles...but it also lets you search for accounts w/URLs w/*any* phrase"

@luca 10k GET sounds like absurdly few, especially for $100/month. That's 300 a day.

For something like #Debirdify that would mean something like 100 users a day. Maximum I ever saw was 20k users a day. So even for a tiny experiment like Debirdify this would be much, much too little.

Am I missing something or is it really that bad an offer?

#Fedifinder still works to find your remaining followings from #Twitter in the #fediverse: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

It didn't at first when I tested it today, but after seeing that the old version (https://fedifinder-v1.glitch.me/) works, I gave it another try and it went through. Down to 538 from 617 accounts. Will have to look into what happened with the rest (deleted?).

#Debirdify sadly got suspended by Twitter last week.

#twitodon is still functional as well: https://twitodon.com/

Not surprising, but the bird site suspended #Debirdify #Twitter

#Debirdify è stato sospeso da Twitter senza preavviso o spiegazione. A quanto pare avrebbe violato "le regole e le politiche di Twitter".

Si sapeva che sarebbe potuto accadere; è successo ad altri servizi in passato, quindi non c'è da esser particolarmente sorpresi o tristi.

Nel frattempo Fedifinder funziona ancora:

:fediverso: https://fedifinder.social.

Usatelo per trovare i vostri amici di twitter su mastodon e sul fediverso finché siete in tempo!

@debirdify There needs to be a word for shocked and not surprised. 👆 #Debirdify

Just a thought: #Debirdify *is* open source, so in principle, other people could host their own Debirdify instances with their own Twitter developer account, but if the original one violated Twitter rules than theirs would, too (probably).

@luca @rstockm #Debirdify wurde von Twitter gesperrt. Siehe unser letzter Toot dazu.

#Debirdify has been suspended by Twitter without warning or explanation. Apparently it violated ‘Twitter rules and policies’, but that is all they told us.

We contacted Twitter support about the situation, but we are not particularly optimistic.

We always knew this could happen; it happened to other services in the past, so we are neither particularly surprised nor sad about it.

In the mean time, Fedifinder still works: https://fedifinder.social

Use it while you still can!

Some great twitter migration tools:

@mainz_de Zum #neuhier: Die coolen #Umzugshelfer #fedifinder und #debirdify kennt ihr vermutlich schon? https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/

Just a reminder that the API change is still delayed. The #TwitterMigration tools still work, for now! 😎

So, if there are still people on twitter that you want to help join #Mastodon, now is the last chance to help them find their network here! 😃

(It seems that #Twitter never planned out how to process payments for the paid service! 😂)

Here are the vague notices about delays: 😏 (1st on Monday, then yesterday).

I have discovered #Debirdify, so I've followed a decent-sized number of people today.

One week after the announced shutdown of the free Twitter API access, two days after the announced postponed shutdown, but so far #debirdify still works fine.

At this point no one quite knows what will happen and when – so use Debirdify will you still can! 🙂

To reiterate, $100/month is an absurd amount to raise for a small project like #debirdify, so we will not be collecting donations (let alone use ads) to pay for this if it ever comes. Esp. because Twitter could shut us down at any moment without explanation if they so choose.

Reminder: today is the last day to scan #Twitter to find your friends at #Mastodon!
