Mastodon-Twitter Crossposter @crossposter@masto.donte.com.br

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 :)

(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.

(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 :)

(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!

Hey, folks!
If you use the crossposter in the twitter -> mastodon direction, what do you crosspost the most? Do you use for crossposting everything, or mostly for stuff that does not have a mastodon app (Switch screenshots and similar stuff)?

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!

Hey Switter folks!
I can't seem to get to Switter from the crossposter server, I'll try to get in touch with the admins to see if there's an issue or if the crossposter was blocked, but in the meantime your tweets and toots are not being crossposted. Sorry!

Hey, y'all!

Maintenance is over and everything should be fine again. Let me know if you run into any problems!

@renatolond

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, y'all!
Made some changes so that domains blocked in the configuration of the crossposter also block sub-domains! Also blocked by default gab and kiwifarms known-addresses.

Besides, two new languages were added on our weblate: Indonesian and Chinese (Traditional), thanks to ditokp and Jeff Huang!

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!

-- @renatolond

Hey, y'all!
There's an issue with our provider and the crossposter is offline at the moment. As soon as I have more news I'll let you know!

🇬🇧 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.

Me avisem de qualquer problema!

Muito obrigado à @David

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all!
I pushed a fix for the pleroma api change. It should be working again now. Let me know of any issues!

🇧🇷 Oi, povo!
Eu adicionei uma correção pra mudança da API do pleroma. Deve estar funcionando de novo agora. Me avisem de qualquer problema!

-- @renatolond

🇬🇧 Hi, everyone!
It seems the latest pleroma API change broke compatibility with the crossposter. If you are using pleroma, as soon as the API upgrade reaches your instance the crossposter is going to stop working. Sorry about that!

🇧🇷 Oi, gente!
Parece que a última mudança de API do pleroma quebrou a compatibilidade com o crossposter. Se você está usando pleroma, assim que a atualização da API chegar na sua instância o crossposter vai parar de funcionar. Desculpem!

-- @renatolond

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all!
A user brought to my attention that the crossposter had not posted since yesterday in his account, and it seems there was 5 accounts from different servers stuck for an unknown reason. I'm going to monitor it closely. Sorry for any inconvenience!

🇧🇷 Oi, gente!
Um usuário me avisou que o crossposter num tinha postado nada desde ontem na conta e parece que tinha 5 contas travadas e eu ainda não sei porque. Vou dar uma olhada de perto nisso aí. Desculpaí!

-- @renatolond

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all! I'm doing a long overdue upgrade in some crossposter dependencies. If you notice the crossposter acting weird, please ping me ASAP! :)

🇧🇷 Oi, povo! Eu tô fazendo um upgrade que já devia feito há tempos em algumas das dependências do crossposter. Se você notar o crossposter fazendo algo estranho, me avisa o mais rápido possível :)
