Yo! #Mastodon users and #TwitterRefugrees Nitter.net (Hosted but also Open Source) lets you view tweets without going to #Twitter AND can turn user's feeds into #RSS Feeds! This is just what I needed to complete my #TwitterMigration
@alpha1beta Is there any way of interacting with them other than logging in to a client?
@alpha1beta @AndiS Thanks for the reply. That was my understanding -- that there is no client-less way of interacting with stuff. But I thought I'd double check.
I think this way of thinking might encourage full-blog responses to things, which isn't necessarily bad.
@worldsendless Right now the biggest barrier to people leaving twitter, I believe, is losing the network we consumed over there. I'm finding I feel very uninformed for the first time in a long time. But if we could do Twitter->RSS->Fediverse Bots that would fill the gap a bit, allow more of us to leave, and hurt Twitter and more importantly hurt Elon's reach.
@worldsendless If I understand the question correctly, yes, there's no way to reply or RT etc. This would just let you use an RSS reader to stay up to date with Twips who didn't leave and won't crosspost to Mastodon.
Now, there are several pieces of software out there to turn RSS feeds into Mastodon bots, but I haven't done that.
A while back @AndiS told me that Friendica could read RSS directly and lets you repost things, but commenting on the repost did not work well.
