bird.makeup is a cool service, it lets me subscribe to cool people on the un-cool network (twitter) while staying on my cool network and sharing with the people on my cool network :blobcatthumbsup:

it does not let them see me, but it lets me see them, which is kind of a big deal considering twitter is blocked in my region both by my country and twitter itself. means i dont have to keep a VPN permanently on

@gravitos exactly, I really needed some service to follow some people & creators that I know outside of the fediverse without going back to hell and this is it

Oかもね

@gravitos
wait
WAIT

this is so cool, thank you :)

just a rock

@gravitos Yeah, but I don't like that they're scraped without consent. If bird.makeup would send Twitter users a message saying "hey this person wants to follow you, may we mirror your posts so that they can see them?" it would be super cool.

@gravitos If the user's answer is going to be "no", then don't do it. Consent is important.

@gravitos We're talking about the user, not the platform. Just because the platform is evil & doesn't ask for consent doesn't mean we also get to be evil & not ask for consent.
