So folks are saying that the Twitter free API shutdown is going to kill migration tools like Debirdify (which I used and loved). https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/
I'm going to run it once more, but more importantly... now is the time to dust off your old twitter account, make sure your friends and colleagues still on twitter know about these tools, and make one last push to get them to establish a mastodon account.
Here's what i posted. Copy/adapt/RT/QT as you please.

You're not frogs, you know the water's warming up.
The twitter API change will likely kill free tools that find Mastodon accounts for your POCs here.
If you ever thought, "Maybe I'll get a mastodon spot sometime," it's time. Get an account and run this: https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/
@bikepedantic ok, dumb question. I ran that app and have a CSV list that I downloaded. Is there a way to automatically follow any accounts in that list that I am not currently following here? Or does it need to be done manually?
@BenHarris_1 So, go to 'preferences' click on 'Import and Export' click on the 'import' tab.
Make sure the dropdown says "following list", and radio button says "merge" not "overwrite". Upload the CSV, will follow everyone in the file you're not currently following.
@bikepedantic Perfect, thanks!
