If you are crossposting your posts from Twitter and you are seeing this message - please consider this - please don't.

The crossposting from your #Twitter feed to Mastodon feels clunky and disruptive. It also indicates you are treating this community just as your broadcast platform for your takes and your brand. It's not a great look.

Please consider being PRESENT here in the community. Saying this with love. Thank you. #Fediverse

@murshedz cross posting does not mean one is not present.

Blindly posting on any platform indicates lack of engagement. Twitter was rife with accounts that existed solely to broadcast, and accounts that lack engagement were obvious.

Whether mastodon use becomes the same is not actually related to the act of posting the same content to both sites or not. So the cross post is not the problem. The broadcast is the problem.

@blakjak I think we agree. I don't mind occasional RTs here and there. But, I am seeing number of accounts that are just primarily auto crossposting content from Twitter. I don't think lot of those folks are really engaging.
