## About
|
|
|
|
Bird.makeup is a way to follow Twitter users from any ActivityPub service. The aim is to make tweets appear as native a possible to the fediverse, while being as scalable as possible. The project started from BirdsiteLive, but has now been improved significantly.
|
|
|
|
Compared to BirdsiteLive, bird.makeup is:
|
|
|
|
More modern:
|
|
- Moved from .net core 3.1 to .net 6 which is still supported
|
|
- Moved from postgres 9 to 15
|
|
- Moved from Newtonsoft.Json to System.Text.Json
|
|
|
|
More scalable:
|
|
- Twitter API calls are not rate-limited
|
|
- There are now integration tests for the non-official api
|
|
- The core pipeline has been tweaked to remove bottlenecks. As of writing this, bird.makeup supports without problems more than 10k users.
|
|
- Twitter users with no followers on the fediverse will stop being fetched
|
|
|
|
More native to the fediverse:
|
|
- Retweets are propagated as boosts
|
|
- Activities are now "unlisted" which means that they won't polute the public timeline
|
|
- WIP support for QT

## Official instance
|
|
|
|
You can find an official instance here: [bird.makeup](https://bird.makeup). If you are an instance admin that prefers to not have tweets federated to you, please block the entire instance.
|
|
|
|
Please consider if you really need another instance before spinning up a new one, as having multiple domain makes it harder for moderators to block twitter content.
