Yo recent Mastodon animals: consider associating your Twitter and Mastodon accounts on https://bridge.joinmastodon.org so more people can make the jump. It'll show you if other people you follow on Twitter are already here, and let you auto-follow them.
Follow
@hellamander I started to do this, but it wants write permissions on my mastodon account. Could it not?
@hellamander okay done! I do not love this but I trust you :)
Do you know the joinmastodon.org people? Perhaps they could be persuaded to have a more paranoid-spook-compatible permission policy...
@jjwolverine I thought it was run by the same people as the main mastodon.social, but never really checked up on that
@jjwolverine oh right forgot about that; probably for the auto-follow. You could immediately revoke it in your account settings in your instance's web UI (Settings > Authorized apps), probably without the bridge noticing
