@darius My understanding (from the person who created it) is that it is only meant as a temporary thing, to help people who were following journalists on the birdsite know that they were following the same journalist here on Mastodon. But you're right; it's a human-powered project which must be very time-consuming, and since we can verify ourselves in other ways, I wonder how many people actually do use it.

@Gargron @floppy And thank you for not adding a quote feature! The difference between Twitter and Mastodon is like night and day. (I also became a Patreon supporter recently!)

@darius LOL! Brought me back to programming an ELIZA in Basic on my first personal computer, a TRS-80 Model III with a whopping 16 KILObytes of memory and a Radio Shack cassette tape recorder for program storage!
