Kev gave me access to Twitter IIRC

emus: thinking about it, I'll add last calls as well

wurstsalat: ok fine but, if its too much work please say

no that’s alright

okay!

jcbrand: can you send me those?

IIRC, it doesn't work like that, you don't get credentials. Someone with the right access takes your twitter handle and gives you access. You'll have to ask Kev

I just checked in my password manager, I don't have credentials for XMPP twitter

jcbrand: Actually I dont understand 100%. "Takes your twitter handle" ? So I need an account myself first?

I think so yes.

But you should perhaps double check with Kev

Uf... I dont wanna have a twitter account myself 👨

emus: you'll need it if you want to Tweet

Ideally we could have a bot for this instead

^^

jcbrand: Would have time to drop a prepared tweet? for each release?

emus: yes

I think that will remove the problem

I'd still like more than one person to have access to Mastodon :/

Nyco if you hear this!

Is there any Tweetdeck-like thing that is compatible with Mastodon?

In fact, we could just link it with the Twitter account

Which reduces the workload in any case

how do you link it?

There are hosted/self-hosted tools for that

I don't think there's anything like tweetdeck no

dunno

We could open an issue for that probably. there might already be

e.g. https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/2134 (?)

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/380

Ah that's what you meant

Another task for iteam?

I guess so

Rails, sidekiq/redis ?!

Web apps..

We should create an official commteam mail. Then I can create a nitter account aswell

peetah, thanks :)
