Great stuff that's locked-in on twitter dave.micro.blog
@dave I keep seeing Twitter posts referenced that I previously would have enjoyed. I don't use my Twitter account any more, but I do still have lots of friends who still post there. I've just decided that I can't support Twitter anymore and I've accepted that they've chosen the service and audience that they prefer.
@bobwertz -- yes i know some people feel that way, but i think there are actually bigger causes, like whether democracy survives in the united states.
@dave so what do you need? I seem to recall that Joe is a friend of yours .. maybe suggest to him and others to also post into one of the others and let federation happen ?
He could even get onto microblog and auto syndicate to BSky, Masto and threads?
@JohnPhilpin — i wouldnt presume to do that. i want to create and fund feeda coming out of twitter with zeo extra work for creators.
@dave Twitter-to-ActivityPub bridges, like bird.makeup, already exist, so the quickest way to get tweets on the Micro.blog timeline might be for @manton to ensure these bridges work with Micro.blog. For example, here's Timothy Snyder's Twitter profile on Micro.blog via bird.makeup. The profile shows up, but no posts are appearing. I’ve tried following Twitter accounts this way before, @manton, but the posts never fetch, so there might be a compatibility issue.
It would be really neat to have this working on Micro.blog. I’m currently following Twitter people via RSS, which I’m happy with, but it can be a bit overwhelming to see countless unread tweets when I open NetNewsWire. 😅
