It's not enough to squat a Mastodon handle that you never use.

It's not enough to automatically repost your Twitter timeline.

You have a chance to be part of something new. Something important. To shape it in the right way.

With all of us.

Breathe life into *this* community and *this* network by posting here, creating here, connecting here.

Be here now.

I would love a feature in Mastodon where I can hide posts that are simply Twitter reposts, especially those where in order to really read the post you have to click on a Twitter link and give Apartheid Elmo more traffic...

@dirkhh @evan you can filter them out.

Ok, gotta ask... How exactly can I do that today... I can filter people, but how do I filter out bird site "retoots"?

@dirkhh @kitrona @evan

Preferences->Filters->Add New Filters.

Not sure what keyword to use, but I suspect you can work it out.

Either that, &/or stop following anyone who crosstoots from fowl site + anyone who boosts fowl site crossposts.

@BenAveling @dirkhh @evan thank you, that's a much better explanation than I was able to muster at the time!

@kitrona

You had all the necessary information. I just walked through the steps. A bit. I've fallen short because I don't know what keyword/s to use, because I'm not seeing a lot of cross-tweets, for whatever reason.
