Thanks for adding references !

I am also thrilled by how nice bird.makeup ux is, although it's a bit unnerving to go to an account from your mastodon client, click on the "open in browser" and land on the homepage, not the page of the Twitter user. I'd hope it would give me the last few tweets, and the same for mastofeeder.

> IMO Mastofeeder is as easy to abuse as any other Mastodon server (or spinning your own)

That's the thing, reading RSS should be extremely simple but the ActivityPub way means there is a mandatory gateway, and that gateway is then too easy to abuse. My issue is not necessarily with mastofeeder per se but with the high burden such a gateway means, and the power imbalance that comes from it.

But even though I may sound negative, I really like your project ! Thanks for doing this for the community !
