Since we currently have 32345 followers on Twitter compared to 1302 followers here, we're still writing most content for Twitter and cross-posting it. That means our content is written around Twitter's 280 character limit instead of writing it for the 11000 character limit on infosec.exchange.

In our most recently posted thread, we kept it as 280 character posts with the exception of merging 2 tweets with a split sentence. We could also start merging tweets forming a larger natural paragraph, but 280 characters is long enough that it's usually a standalone paragraph.

A benefit to keeping things at least partially split up is people can boost or reply to specific thoughts instead of replying to the thread as a whole. We feel that's very useful especially most people have a 500 character limit, not 11000, so they can't waste characters on quoting.

One reason to merge everything would be that most fediverse clients appear to lack displaying threads as collapsed before you open them as Twitter does.

Which cross-posting approach would you prefer?

1 toot per tweet
22.2%
Merge into about half as many toots as tweets
24.8%
Single large toot instead of threads
53%

32k is also just the amount of people remaining after the recent mass exodus. Many people deleted their accounts.

There are also 1.6k in the GrapheneOS Twitter community, which is similar to a little forum. We expect that's going to be one of the first features killed off due to it only being publicly launched in the past year and most people not being aware of it or using it yet. Ideally we can get most of those people to move to https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ before it's killed.

Note that by cross-posting, we mean we're manually copy-pasting our content to Mastodon and adjusting the handles, links, etc. as needed. In the previous thread, we replaced 2 Twitter handles with project names + website links since we couldn't find fediverse handles. It's not going to be automated and some content will be Twitter-specific or Mastodon-specific such as this thread.
@grapheneos we really appreciate non-automated crossposting. crosspost bots here are really frowned up just because they’re annoying and people obviously want to get away from twitter, not bring it here.
