For those who are also using mastodon, this is great advice- just tested this. You can use it to automatically crosspost in either direction or both (twitter <-> mastodon) which makes content accessible for those on either platform. Just use this link: http://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br

Mastodon Twitter Crossposter

@dgurdasani1 If anyone has trouble with it, another one is:

Moa: Mastodon/Twitter/Instagram Crossposter

Link your Mastodon account to Twitter and Instagram

@dgurdasani1 one thing to be aware of when using automatic cross-posting is the culture around content warnings on many mastodon instances — they are used much more often on mastodon and should be respected.

@dgurdasani1
The tone is very different here though, and Content Wrappers are well used, so people can scroll on by stuff that doesn't interest them.

I've noticed a few tweeps using cross-posting — you can tell because they sound very shouty and abrasive. 😉

It's strange, I popped back to Twitter earlier and I amazed that I used to like it!

Mastodon
@dgurdasani1 only problem seems to be that the alt text you add to graphics is not copied across - which politely upsets the folk here who, quite rightly, would like our discussions to be as inclusive as possible.
@andrewsharpe @dgurdasani1 Yes, I've noticed that. But, the strange thing is, it's only Mastodon that's affected. The alt text appears in the other sites I post to (not twitter),
@dgurdasani1 @alan_matts I won’t cross post because I won’t give succour to Musk or his manipulation of social media. Also, Mastodon isn’t Twitter and I don’t want to bring Twitter here.
@dgurdasani1 I would advise people to keep any cross posting to a minimum. If you think about it people wouldn’t cross post stuff from Twitter to Facebook because Facebook is respected as a platform in its own right. Similarly Mastodon is a social media platform/communication channel in its own right that is very different from Twitter and offers different communication opportunities . The best posts on Mastodon are original ones.
@dgurdasani1 your tweets are not being crossposted. did you turn off the functionality?
@dgurdasani1 sadly this doesn't work 'cos Twitter blocked it. You can set a working crossposter up with IFTT though!
@dgurdasani1 you have a great thread about the Israeli #LongCovid study in BMJ. ♥️ Any chance you plan to post it here?
@dgurdasani1 Looks like this was shut down
