@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount But why is there still a Twitter bird? 🤔

Perhaps some of us refuse to acknowledge the new name 😜

In all seriousness though, it was an oversight, proably because we invest more of our social media effort here instead of there.

I'll open an issue on our Github to get that fixed!

How about adding a Mastodon chat client to Thunderbird to go with the built-in Matrix client?

@thunderbird @micah Could it be “Share to Fediverse” instead? :D Mastodon is just one implementation of a Fediverse microblogging server.

That seems like a much bigger project tbh, given the different "share" implementations in different software. Looks like there was at least one previous effort to build a generic fediverse sharer: https://github.com/Uden-AI/fediverse-share

@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount @andypiper how does it work? is there an awkward “log in to my server” experience? or is it just a one-click

@kellogh due to some limitations with how mastodon works it asks for your instance address and if you are already logged in on that browser, that’s it. Also it will try to remember whatever instance you entered for next time. I’ve tried to make the process as frictionless as possible without tons of code complexity.

@micah still cool. is it something i could put on my blog? (static site)

Thanks! Would be better to have a 'share to fediverse button' though - example: https://github.com/Uden-AI/fediverse-share
