ugh. this has a killer flaw

> Looking for Mastodon users progress, scanned 867 of 867 users you follow on Twitter. Discovered 0 Twitter users on Mastodon who have previously linked their Twitter and Mastodon accounts by logging into Twitodon.

WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY LINKED ACCOUNTS... BY LOGGING IN TO TWITODON

the odds of that having happened for any notable subset are so low as to make this useless.



Instead of creating a new service, it would be better if this read from https://keybase.io since those mappings already exist.


I mean, that's something you can say about any tool or social network at its beginning. Imagine downdetector with 5 users being considered useless forever.


It seems that this tool is fairly equivalent to everyone posting their mastodon and twitter handles to this thread.


It would be much more useful to search using the “people you follow” filter.
