~retiolus the version hosted here on sr.ht hasn't worked for me for awhile, I've been using the version hosted on github here: https://github.com/rursache/bird.makeup which has some modifications and is slower to roll out changes, but seemingly is more stable. Thanks to ~rursache for working on this

Hi, I'm having the same issue, I've imported the two lines into the database but even so, it doesn't work. Even the web interface finds the Twitter user, Mastodon doesn't.

birdmakeup=# SELECT * FROM followers;
SELECT * FROM twitter_users;
 id | followings |   acct   |   host   |      inboxroute       | sharedinboxroute |             actorid             | postingerrorcount

There is a variable to blacklist Twitter accounts (Moderation:TwitterAccountsBlackListing), it could be used to opt-out users that request it. I don't know if this deletes existing data, but it could be implemented in that case too.
