Given that twitter is going to start charging for api usage next week, but has neglected to give anyone any info about rates, I recommend running movetodon.org/ one last time while you still can.

None of the migration tools will work after the 8th (give or take some timezones).

If Movetodon isn’t working for you, here’s a list of similar services.

Debirdifier debirdify.pruvisto.org
Fedifinder fedifinder.glitch.me
Twitodon twitodon.com

@nazgul Thanks for reminder - just joined this week and just ran movetodon.org/ - such an easy-to-use tool :owo_thanking:​

ResearchBuzz

@nazgul Really waiting to hear from Buffer and IFTTT.

ResearchBuzz

@nazgul IFTTT sez

"Hey Tara! Thanks for reaching out to ask. These latest API changes from Twitter could impact us at Buffer. We’re still learning more, and our team is doing everything in our power to minimize any impact this could have for Buffer users. -Ross"

@nazgul @WarnerCrocker Interesting. When I try to use the link and sign onto Twitter, I get a wrong password message. But when I sign onto Twitter directly, the password works.

Warner Crocker

@TammyGentzel @nazgul I wish I could say I was surprised. But given what’s going on I’m not.

Kee Hinckley

@TammyGentzel @WarnerCrocker If you used the same browser you signed into twitter on, it should just go straight to the authorization page, not ask for a password again.

Mike Pfeifer

@nazgul there’s no guarantee it will actually continue to work till then either…

Richard "RichiH" Hartmann

@nazgul that was literally the first thing I did after reading the news.

Fyzzlefry

@nazgul Any chance of a GoFundMe to keep it alive for a while?

Kee Hinckley

@fyzzlefry I'm guessing that will depend on the pricing. Which in classic Elon fashion, they've neglected to plan out in advance.

TTimo

@nazgul ran it again and it picked up some 25 more peeps yay

Eodyne

@nazgul what a way to screw over the few advertisers he has left. So many of them rely on api access for scheduled postings etc.

Kebba

@nazgul did this again and got 47 more people.

SHI▽I△N × ☉R△CLE :xe:/:they:

@nazgul it seems to be broken / not working for me ... hrm ...

DELETED

@nazgul anyone know whether OpenID Connect (“login via Twitter”) will shut off? (as opposed to the full API for grabbing data)

I built a tool for portable identity (ie proving “I was once so-and-so on bird app”). It’s at whosum dot com if you’d like to try it. Hoping OIDC stays alive... Thanks!

A.L. Blacklyn

@scafaria yes, seems so. GovTrack tooted today about the end of Twitter's login service.

Jamie McCarthy

@scafaria @shadowsminder Reading their toots, I don’t think GovTrack knows more than the rest of us what’s going to happen to auth. They’re just being cautious. As well they might.

Neo-Athenian Empire

@nazgul Didn’t Must also prevent people from adding their mastodon account into their profile a few months back? I haven’t seen any new accounts on Movetodon since the second or third wave.

Tansy Hoskins

@nazgul Yikes - good shout, will do this tomorrow and flag up to the orgs I'm helping to migrate!

JoJaSciPo

@nazgul

Thanks so much KH!!!!

I've just run it - it went absolutely fine, and am now following about 350 of them!!

(Follow-backs appearing, well not quite like popping corn, but a little bit like it for a while!😄 )

yellow :lila_heart_yellow:​

@nazgul I need to remember to do this when I'm on the computer

DELETED

@nazgul Once those apps stop working, I'm not sure I have any remaining reason to not delete my old account.

Enrico

@nazgul found so many more people! Thanks for the reminder! ❤️

Wes Chamness

@nazgul @marcoarment very good recommendation. I last ran this a month ago and ran it just now to find that one of my favourite titter folks that had gone silent is on Mastodon now. Very exciting

Shawn Levasseur

@nazgul

I think they’ve been cut off early. I just went to movetodon.org and after hitting the button for the first step (login to Twitter), I’ve got nothing but a bank page

Herzleid

@ShawnL Everyone has been posting reminders today, so it's probably under some load. I had to wait quite a bit for the list to appear and start populating, but I got a last batch of old follows sorted eventually.

@nazgul

RickF

@ShawnL @nazgul
Just had the same thing happen to me. May be too many requests

Shingo Mouse

@nazgul And there is this thread on it that is showing mostly if not all negative views in response to it.
twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/

(((underdog)))

@nazgul Oh well.. It's currently throwing a 500 error. I'll try again later.

This page isn’t working

www.movetodon.org is currently unable to handle this request.

@wunderwood They may well have hit their rate limit.

Here's a list of similar services. (fixed link)

@nazgul Thanks! I was able to click through & get fedifinder-v1.glitch.me/ to work for me 👍

Jon

@nazgul I'm getting errors from movetodon's twitter login. :/ Maybe twitter broke it already? @Tibor

NullNoMore

@nazgul - lmao error message, the site is too busy to respond at the moment. I'm glad people are grabbing their friends while they can.

samati ⭐

@nazgul it's already not working for me. :(

MamaKeiki™-RFG

@nazgul was working earlier... Doesn't seem to be now 🤔

Dendari

@nazgul looks like Twitter broke it already

Wub-Fur Internet Radio

@nazgul #movetodon no longer (or at least currently not) working for me, either. But #debirdify seems to still be okay 🤞

debirdify.pruvisto.org/

David Farnell

@nazgul I can't access Movetodon today. But Debirdify is still working. I just did a final check and found a couple of people I hadn't already followed. I assume they (edit: the sites like Movetodon and Debirdify) will all be blocked (edit: by Twitter) soon.

David Zaslavsky

@azzageddi @nazgul Same, I couldn't access #Movetodon either - the page was just blank. Thanks for the tip!

Heidi Helen Pilypas

@nazgul It’s not working for me. It just loads a white page.

AriM

@nazgul movetodon's initial login page seems to be broken (at least on mobile). Any other paths?

Travis Newton 👨‍💻

@nazgul Starts with charging for a tick, then turns into blocking journalists, to just shutting down the API with no notice, to putting API back but with a fee. At this point, any one still using that site needs to ask themselves why they are still there and, the most important question: what is the next feature to be a paid feature? Images? GIFs? Tweets beyond 140 characters? Yep! That’s a great site/app to keep using!

Pusher Of Pixels

@nazgul

significant problem: when twitter started banning mention of Mastodon apparently lots of people removed the refs.

600+ previously, vs 50 today.

Kee Hinckley

@SmartmanApps the rates I’ve seen going around are for the professional tier that already exists. The only one I’ve seen about what’s going to replace free is Elon musing that maybe $100 a month would be good . He claims this is to cut down on spam...but spam bots don’t use the API, they pretend to be users using the web interface. It will certainly make it harder for people monitoring hate speech and misinformation though. Plus useful things like the bot the captions videos for the deaf.

💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱

@nazgul The rate I saw was $149 for up to 5,000 calls (or something like that).

And yes, everyone else knows it won't fix the bot problem at all - this is just deja vu of "Charging people for Twitter verification will fix the bot problem".

sharlemagne

@nazgul it's not feb 8 yet but i keep getting error 500...😐and I can't access the others too, similar errors

seemed like the floodgates trigger for "Mastodon" APIs 🥴

@nazgul @elakdawalla Thx! Was looking for alternatives since movetodon wasn’t working.

This is how I discovered that @ACM have a Mastodon Server! As a long time ACM SIGGRAPH Volunteer, I will have to move my account there!

serdar

@nazgul Thanks for this! I couldn't get to movedodon.org but currently exporting from one of the other services!

Cora Hex

@nazgul I'm getting errors on twitter when trying to revoke the permissions I granted to one of those. I'm not sure when/if that will get fixed 😬

Voradams :verified:

@nazgul looking to see if Space Karen will break all my oAuth logins.

Kee Hinckley

@Voradams Nobody seems certain. I’ve seen people say those are separate. But also that some services might require both.

Most pre-teen lemonade stands do a better job planning and communicating than twitter.

Anna Christina :verified:

@nazgul
Do you have a recommendation for a good "deleter" which removes all Tweets, Likes and Retweets etc. from Twitter? Thank you!

Julien Colomb

@nazgul
If you kept a twitter peofile so that people can find you here, save some time to delete it next week :)

+ request data deletion via GDPR compliance (sorry missing the link aa being on my phone)

Shadora Nyx

@nazgul Bookmarked. I have found a lot of people on mastodon, but there are still a lot missing.
