This looks like a very cool project. Unfortunately, it won't work for me personally... Twitter Developer Account is a showstopper for most people. I get 403 Forbiddens when requesting a token, and relying on Twitter's API after the last couple weeks in general is kinda 😥, even though it's clearly the least jank solution.
Would be easier to pull Twitter -> Nostr than Nostr -> Twitter. The same flow really applies for any social network site, since they're all closed and hostile. Would be nice to have a single onboarding tool for Nostr that basically runs snscrape/checks rss/whatever against your Twitter/FB/Instagram/Tiktok, and unjails the user's content by re-posting over here. Could even schedule it to pull updates for X period.
I think it would help a lot of folks ease the transition to Nostr if we could make tell them "it's not Twitter, Instagram, or Tiktok: it's *all* of them. MOVE YOUR POSTS WITH ONE TRICK DOCTORS HATE."
Mirroring an open site to populate a closed one feels to me a bit like taking artwork from a museum to decorate a dumpster. Rescuing something from the dumpster to display in the museum feels a little more like a public service.
If somebody does it, them should do it under nym, rather than true name, imo, to preempt harrassment.
But I'm just thinking out loud.
