Gregory's ServerIf you are on Twitter and want to find people who have opened accounts over here, someone made a little tool that scrapes Fediverse handles (and email addresses, since a lot of people drop the leading @) from the Twitter bios and display names of people you follow over there

@Shredderfeeder if you download the csv from the tool you can import it in your account settings @darius I've been looking for something like this, but ideally a CLI so that I don''t have to trust that no one else is snooping around in parts of my twitter account that I try to keep private. With this source, it seems I have a great start at writing the version of the tool that I've been looking for. Thanks for writing and sharing!  @darius Me at first: "OH COOL!" Me after running the tool: *Sad trombone* no results. DAMMIT COME OVER, FRIENDS! @darius It found a couple of people for me - thank you! (I'll run it again in a week or so...)  @MeTwitt you can inspect the source code if you like, but yeah if you don't trust it then don't use it @darius Thanks for posting this! I’ve added my handle to my Twitter bio as a result. @darius that's assuming they keep the same name? Given what I see here, I don't think the Twitter escapees will be very interested.. Everyone is too thoughtful and kind.. Hahahaa @Sing_Out_Louise this is looking for people who specifically list their Fediverse account info in their bio (@user@server.example, etc) @darius @darius It's not working today, it seems. However, I tried https://pruvisto.org/debirdify (mentioned at the bottom of your link), which worked well, thanks |
@darius Now that I have a CSV, how do I import it into Mastodon?
