I was under the impression that development on the #Twitterbridge was pretty much abandoned. First Twitter shut down their API 1.0, then there was compulsory OAuth, and it's still a continuously moving target. No-one wants to chase forever without catching up. @jbfavre@status.jbfavre.org did a lot of maintenance, but it seems he's not even running a GNUsocial instance any longer

Blocked by @kat on #Twitter, because of namespace collision with @kat@quitter.se? Too bad, she's a #Toronto jazz musician I think I'd like
-
@maiyannah I can't say why I'm blocked by @kat on #Twitter, but it's likely she got annoyed getting notifications about my conversations with @kat@quitter.se

At last night's @KWVoIP meeting I was told my #Twitter feed is a disjoint series of half-conversations. Tried to explain that's because #Twitter doesn't federate with the !Fediverse, offered him a spot on sn.jonkman.ca. Got told that it wasn't *his* problem, so he shouldn't have to do extra work to see my feed. Didn't help when I pointed out that he was the one complaining, I'm perfectly satisfied being a disjoint half-wit on #Twitter.

I was blocked by a couple of Twitter users, and one user made her account private, thanks to usename collision. I thought it was useful to push all the notices to Twitter but it didn't convince any user to join the fediverse. Instead, my Twitter stream became a pain to follow and keep track of (if I looked at it from a regular Twitter user's view point.) So I decided not to push notices from here to there.

Indeed, it is his problem! NGOs, Parties, activists and independent scientists should use and promote alternative decentralized social networks instead of making the commercial Twitter service increasingly indispensable. What's emancipatory about Twitter where timeline is manipulated, where you can lose your account due to joint efforts of trolls?

@vegos @bobjonkman I'm going to disagree, it's a little rude. If you're going to post on Twitter you're obliged to use the site the way it's designed, especially if you're causing spurious notifications for others. Flipping it around I wouldn't be very happy if someone was tagging me in their GS posts while talking to the thomask on Twitter. Whether GS is a superior service is neither here nor there. There's no technical reason why notices containing GS names can't be de-@-ed before posting to Twitter.
-
Yet there are plenty of !GNUsocial users who have the same userID in #Twitter. Perhaps the #Twitterbridge can keep a list of followed accounts on Twitter, and supply the @ nametag only for those.
-
@thomask You may be right. My #Twitter follower and I are going out for a beer, the better to understand the issue. I may just shut down my #Twitterbridge completely (until @Maiyannah fixes it, of course :)
-
@bobjonkman you'd still also need to know whether the same username in T is actually the same person. @mk here is not @mk at T ;-)
-
@bobjonkman and then some day they'll shut it down due to API rule breaking.
