ABOUT FEDIFINDER Fedifinder helps you find the Fediverse accounts of your Twitter contacts. HOW DOES IT WORK? It is based on consent and does not give you handles of people who do not want to be found. After authorizing it to access your Twitter account, Fedifinder retreives up to 15.000 of your Followings (accounts which you follow). It then scans the profiles and pinned Tweets of those accounts for Fediverse handles and links. Because handles can look exactly like mail addresses it cross-checks them with a cached list of domains. For domains it doesn't know, it tries to do a webfinger lookup and collect information through the /.well-known/nodeinfo file. The results of the lookup are cached on a domain level (domain x is part of the fediverse, domain y is not). It then shows you a list of the instances it found as well as the individual accounts. You can export that list and import it in the preferences of the web app of your instance. PRIVACY AND SECURITY This is a hobby project by @Luca@vis.social. While I try to follow best practice and am as open about the process as possible, I can't guarantee the safety of your data. Because Fedifinder mostly handles public data, the risk is low, but still there. You can run Fedifinder on your own server and look at the source code and suggest improvements on Github. * The Twitter keys are stored in the client in an encrypted cookie that is transferred only over an secured connection. * The decryption key and Twitter app key is stored in an environment variable on the server. Access to the Twitter account is only possible with all three of them. * No information that identifies individuals is stored on the server. No account data either. The only thing that is cached is the information about domains. If they are part of the fediverse, which software they run and some other information, that's available through /.well-known/nodeinfo on each instance. * Some data is stored in the local storage of the client. For example the fediverse auth code. That isn't encrypted at the moment. The feature is still experimental and not available on the main server. * Fedifinder is hosted on Glitch which is part of fastly. They collect some usage data: https://glitch.com/legal/privacy. If you are concerned about that, please run it on your own machine. If you have more questions, feel free to comment on this issue. ALTERNATIVES Debirdify works similar to Fedifinder, but has some additional options. Twitodon needs you and the accounts to find to be signed up there. Fedifinder by @luca@vis.social. The source code is licensed MIT. You can create your own version by remixing it on Glitch or Github.
