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 I must be the rare person who doesn't mind Twitter xposts on interesting topics from quality sources, at least when compared to not posting on here at all.
I like that crossposts allow me to keep up with sources & information I used to follow on the birdsite. But of course I'd much rather people xpost from here to Twitter, or just only post here.
@murshedz My halfway-facetious ranking:
Alpha: posts interesting/newsworthy content to Mastodon, properly formatted for here, totally abandons Twitter
Sigma: mostly posts to Mastodon and/or xposts from here to Twitter, largely ignores birdsite
Beta: posts some Mastodon-specific content while still mostly posting on Twitter
Delta: only xposts from Twitter to Mastodon
Gamma: posts "I'm here just in case lol" on Mastodon, never posts again
Omega: opens Mastodon account, never logs in again
