This project is a fork of the original BirdsiteLIVE from NicolasConstant and this fork from Pasture. It runs in production at bird.im-in.space.
Changes made from the original or fork include:
- Rework About page entirely - also disclose unlisted accounts and federation restrictions
- Cache Tweets so that, for example, Announces do not hit rate limits
- Allow replacing and redirecting to twitter.com in Tweets to other domains (i.e. Nitter instances)
- Proper remote follow form on user pages
- Mark individual Tweets as potentially sensitive
- Define and enforce a maximum follow count limit
- Define and enforce a maximum Tweet fetch age using snowflakes
- (Optional) send quote-RTs as Soapbox-style quote posts
Removed features from the original or fork:
Verified checkmarks on verified Twitter users
This fork is also available as a Docker image at ghcr.io/im-in-space/birdsitelive (linux/amd64, linux/arm64).
Or at Docker Hub as mkody/birdsitelive (linux/amd64).
The project's original README is as follows:
BirdsiteLIVE is an ActivityPub bridge from Twitter, it's mostly a pet project/playground for me to handle ActivityPub concepts. Feel free to deploy your own instance (especially if you plan to follow a lot of users) since it use a proper Twitter API key and therefore will have limited calls ceiling (it won't scale, and it's by design).
The code is pretty messy and far from a good state, since it's a playground for me the aim was to understand some AP concepts, not to provide a good state-of-the-art codebase. But I might refactor it to make it cleaner.
There's none! Please read here why I've stopped it.
I'm providing a docker build (linux/amd64 only). To install it on your own server, please follow those instructions. More options are also available.
Also a CLI is available for adminitrative tasks.
