Hi, y'all!
If you're in an instance that is not suspended by masto.donte.com.br and you still see "Sorry, <instance> is blocked in this instance" when you try to login to the crossposter then most likely the crossposter was blocked by your admin and we blocked back to avoid getting infinite retries on our side.
🇬🇧 When the crossposter finds an issue posting your status, it can decide it's a temporary issue (network issues, mastodon instance down) and retry later, or decide it's a permanent issue (token expired, user suspended, twitter marks the profile as spam) and disable crossposting for your user.
The retry time increases (first retry in a few seconds, second a few minutes, few hours, many hours, etc) and after two weeks or so, it gives up and marks as a permanent failure.

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all! The crossposter should never take more than a few minutes to crosspost your statuses, in either direction. If it's been more than 10 minutes there's an issue. I check it from time to time, but you can also get in touch and I'll check :)
🇧🇷 Oi, povo! O crossposter nunca demora mais que alguns minutos pra postar em qualquer direção. Se tem mais de 10 minutos, tem um problema. Eu olho de tempos em tempos, mas você também pode me mandar uma mensagem pra checar :)

Hey, folks!
Thanks to @singingwolfboy, you can now choose how to crosspost CW'ed posts over to twitter.
The default is what the option from before, only the CW plus a link, but now you can also add the content or only add the content.
The choice is over at the advanced options https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/user/advanced_mastodon
As usual, let me know if you run into problems!

Hey, folks!
A heads-up: it seems Twitter added some new mechanism to detect "unwanted" URLs. It seems they detect some mastodon instance URLs as one of those URLs. This will stop the crossposting to post over to twitter any toot bigger than Twitter's limit.
If you are not seeing your toots being posted even if everything is enabled, check if you're not in this situation.

Hey, folks!
Something was locking up the jobs in the crossposter queue. I'm going to look into it later, but I've restarted and it should be back to normal now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
-- @renatolond
(en) Hey folks! We've been noticing that twitter seems to be lightly locking accounts when there's only "automated" access. If you have the crossposter connected to your account, log in the web interface from time to time to avoid this from happening.
(pt) Oi, povo! Notamos que o twitter parece estar travando levemente contas só com acesso "automatizado". Se você tem o crossposter conectado a sua conta, entre na web de tempos em tempos pra evitar o problema.
-- @renatolond
(en) Hey folks! We fixed a bug when you tried to quote a tweet long urls, it was being dropped by the crossposter for being considered too long. URLs should be correctly treated now :)
(pt) Oi gente! Consertei um bug com citações com urls longas, antes a citação não era postada. Agora urls devem ser tratadas normalmente :)
-- @renatolond
(en) Hey folks! I've just did an upgrade to the library that we use to access mastodon and twitter. It should be fine, but as usual, if you see any issues in the coming days, let me know :)
(pt) Oi, povo! Eu acabei de fazer uma atualização da biblioteca que o crossposter usa pra acessar o mastodon e o twitter. Deve ser livre de problemas, mas como de costume, se você ver problemas nos próximos dias, me avise!
-- @renatolond
Hey, y'all! I've done some upgrades on the crossposter! If you see anything strange, please let me know :)
Oi, povo! Eu fiz algumas atualizações no crossposter! Se você notar qualquer coisa estranha, me avise!
-- @renatolond
Hey, y'all!
Maintenance is over and everything should be fine again. Let me know if you run into any problems!
He, folks!
I'm starting maintenance in the server where the crossposter is hosted. It might be a bit unstable until it's finished. I will let you know as soon as it's done :)

Hey, Switter folks!
It seems that after Switter upgraded, the issues the crossposter had with it from time to time stopped happening (like sometimes failing to post images and other intermittent issues)
As usual, if you have an issue you can always get in touch!
-- @renatolond
Hey, folks!
The issue should be over and the crossposter normalized! Let me know if you see any issues!

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all! I'm deactiving the mention transformation into twitter.activitypub.actor, since a lot of instances blocked it for creating profiles that can't be interacted with. I will try to change it into a user-by-user configuration soon.
🇧🇷 Oi, povo! Eu desativei a transformação de menções com twitter.activitypub.actor, já que diversas instâncias bloquearam o site por criar perfis que não permitem interação. Eu vou tentar transformar numa configuração por usuário em breve.

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all!
Starting now, we're replacing twitter mentions with https://twitter.activitypub.actor! This will make mentions, such as @renatolond more natural than they are right now!
Let me know of any issues!
Huge thanks to @David
🇧🇷 Oi, povo! A partir de agora estamos substituindo menções do twitter com https://twitter.activitypub.actor! Isso vai fazer com que as menções, como @renatolond mais naturais do que são agora.

Muito obrigado à @David
