Show HN: A web app that follow people from Twitter on Mastodon automatically

• mmastrac 4y ago
  The automation part of this one seems nice, but does it really need those "everything" perms (EDIT: on Mastodon)? If it does, some copy about why it needs it, how much information is stored, and how you can revoke it would be appreciated before pulling the trigger.

    My bad had another feature that is WIP, I forgot to lower the permissions on Twitter! It only need read access for twitter as for Mastodon it need write in order to follow users.

      Twitter didn't really bug me (since I'm moving off anyways). I think it was the Mastodon ones that made me think twice: Everything Read and write access Relationships Read and write access Push notifications Read and write access

      Should be lowered now :)

    Thanks @mmastrac for your feedback! I will investigate on the minimum required access on Mastodon and definitely add a documentation on how this works and how to revoke the access once the automation is done :+1:
