Oh no, through “Related” tweets I caught a glimpse of the gender discourse on #Twitter and, folks, I’m sorry to report it still isn’t pretty. 🥵


Yep.

The goal of #Mastodon was, appeal to old ex #Twitter users. Success.

#Pleroma, appeal to nerds. Success.

#Soapbox, appeal to new ex #Twitter users. Success.

Of course all the software is still approaching their goals at varying speeds, but they're honestly largely complete. If you left the software alone for five years it'd all probably be fine.


Cross-posting images Friendica/Twitter


Hi, my #Friendica node (https://mexico-pensante.blog) is working and (very slowly) growing 😀

Cross-posting to #Twitter is still important for me because I have ~500 #followers there.

However, if I send #posts with #images to Friendica and Twitter, the Twitter version does not display the image; just the link. Obviously, that's a problem for getting #attention. As a consequence, I post on #TweetDeck and then channel it to Friendica. But I want to forget about logging into Twitter...

Any hint, on how to embed images in Friendica posts for #crossposting to Twitter?

I can send anything to Twitter, but my own posts...


I sent my first contributions to #Twitter, using the #Friendica addon: a Quote Share of a journal RSS I follow on my Friendica node and a Twiiter #Tweet.

However, I tried in various ways (direct, quote share) to send my own post (inviting people to my Friendica instance 😉, containing a link to http://mexico-pensante.blog). This one never arrived. Is there any filter that prevents advertising the own network, ...?

Thanks @tio and @Steffen K9 🍮! It seems that my connection was successful. At least I can see my account on the social media -> #Twitter settings now. And I receive the messages of the people I am following. However, I sent a 'public' post with 'post to Twitter' selected and still cannot see the post on Twitter ~10 Minutes later. Is there anything missing?


¿How to "activate" the Twitter addon in Friendica?


Hi, I just installed the #Twitter addon on my #Friendica node https://mexico.pensante.blog and registered for a Twitter developer account (which was approved after some discussion..). I added the API key and secret in the #addon configuration.

But now? I cannot see any Twitter button/ menu. How can I configure what to read/post to Twitter?

Infected by the Fediverse Virus: How to connect all in Friendica?


Hi, I just gave up on connecting #Twitter because of their #ToC (I'm not planning anything exotic, but some of my activities seem to be incompatible with their politics; o.k., let's forget about the few hundred followers... maybe I just inform them where they can find me now..).

BUT: How can I integrate elegantly different #Fediverse accounts to my main (own) server? Currently, I use my own Friendica server (admin, mexico-pensante.net) a Friendica account at nerdica.net (thanks for hosting @Ingo Jürgensmann !!!), and a mastodon.social account.

Ideally, I want to use them all (and also future ones, maybe #PeerTube, #Pixelfed) from my main Friendica account, to avoid logging on/off, switching to different webpages, etc. Is there a solution already?

!Friendica Support


Because I could



On the other hand I keepwondering how mastodon/AP will handle daily 260 million users from #twitter? ;-)


Billionaires should not have sole ownership over one of the largest communication platforms in the world.

$44 Billion dollars could do so much good in this world.

!Friendica Support Nutze derzeit Friendica 'Siberian Iris' 2021.12-rc - 1449 auf Debian mit PHP 7.4.
Mit dem Update heute wurden Veränderungen am #Twitter Connector vorgenommen. Seit dem ist er Tod. Ist das auch Anderen so passiert?


I just discovered #Twitter is (now?) creating a separate status for retweets, see these two URLs:



Both share activity numbers but only the original status shows the replies. I wonder if comments on the retweet are automatically attached to the original post? I'm not even sure how to access the retweet status URL outside of the API.


Among the few #Twitter non-features, the one that takes the cake for me is the notifications about posts published by accounts you are already following.

If I understand correctly, this is the chain of causality:
  • Encourage users to follow as many accounts as possible to boost Engagment™.
  • Timeline becomes impossible to read, filter it.
  • Send notifications about posts that may have been missed because of the filter.



This is completely irrelevant for me since I only follow people I want to read everything they publish, and I'm doing so either on #Friendica or on Twitter where I regularly have to switch back to "Latest tweets first" from the non-chronological filtered timeline.


most of my contacts are using #matrix, #signal groups, or various #fediverse endpoints, as well as #twitter and stuff.


#Twitter doesn't allow folks to expand a conversation or a photo post without being logged in anymore, for me it signals the start of the slow slide into irrelevancy as #Instagram took before, when successful platforms because of their openness close public access points.

"You're about to retweet an article that you haven't clicked on."

How about you mind your own business, #Twitter ?

The solution to social problems will not be an additional click to share articles.


so people gonna, uh, *pay* to #twitter to be able to follow other people's, uh, "exclusive" tweets? wthf.



Content warning: Just something positive about the #fediverse


I just realized that on my Friendica account I have 659 #Fediverse / #Federation followers, while I only have 114 #Twitter followers, despite the latter network having way more users and cross-posting to and from each other.

This just shows that network total size just isn't a relevant metrics when choosing a social media platform.


It's obvious to me but apparently it bear repeating: Trump's ban from #Twitter isn't the start of a slippery slope, it's the very end of one. It is the account that violated their own Terms of Service the longest without being suspended.

They even built an entirely new feature around his account because the last thing they wanted is to suspend it for engagement reasons. The little panels indicating that his tweets were possibly misleading the public about an election were just a workaround to keep his account online as long as possible.

Meanwhile, antifascist and women accounts have been suspended even without clear violation of the Twitter terms of service, just because an alt-right mob bogusly reported one of their tweet. So if Twitter wasn't coming for *you* before they banned Trump, they will not come for you next, you haven't been anywhere near Trump in terms of importance for Twitter's own business.


Hello all,
if embedding (previews) of links is not working for you in #Friendica, no matter if #Twitter links or some other previews, you have to deactivate the Twitter addon and activate it again, this solves the problem and afterwards you get nice emedded previews for links again!

!Friendica Support


Links and pictures are stripped from posts going from #Friendica to #Twitter

That is kind of a problem for me. Can anyone confirm this?

!Friendica Support



Das klappt noch immer nicht richtig !! Wäre einer aus dem Support im Stande mit mir eine Konversation zu Führen ?



There is no way to mirror a #Twitter account in #Friendica for Twitter accounts that you don't own and if you just want to mirror the text and photo from that account?

Tipps how to do this?

Would it be possible to exempt reshares in #Friendica from beeiing posted to #Twitter. Reshares look ugly on #Twitter.

On #Twitter a "bag of rice" has once again fallen over. What was this #Twitter again? 😛


Still on the #Fediverse 's 12th birthday's occasion, I wrote a blurb comparing it to #Twitter

Enjoy! #Fediverse12 #HappyFedi2U


Between "Sco pa tu manaa" and "Bomboclaat", there's a pretty bad trend at least on French Twitter by white people to use slang from black countries (here Ghana and Jamaica) as #Twitter memes, and I can't help but feel like it's exoticism as its finest.


Mal eine #Frage an die aktiveren #Twitter Nutzer hier. Ist es bei Twitter möglich, Kommentare unter den eigenen #Tweets, oder wie sich das nennt, zu löschen?


Was there any advancement in the #Twitter import, in order to import tweets (excluding mentions/replies) without that embedding style? The goal would be to mirror a Twitter account to look like an original #Friendica / #Fediverse account.
I can use nitter.net instead, but then the feed import would have to be tweaked.

Isn't it possible to just retrieve a tweets text and media? That pretty much sounds like a scraper job, but maybe the API allows this too? I think #IFTTT can get the Tweets text, not sure about the media.

!Friendica Support


One technical question here, how can you have profiles from #twitter in here?
