So I had a really fun day writing up about Twitter trying to DDOS itself. I didn't expect it to blow up the way it did here, but even more amusing is that someone took a screenshot of that post and cross-posted it to Twitter and now that post is blowing up on Twitter too!

Poor Twitter. Can't catch a break. It's down and even the holdouts want their turn to give it a good kick.

Update: I have to add a screenshot of that screenshot because someone just reminded me that most people can't view the tweet unless they have a Twitter account to login to. It's ironic of me to forget because that's how today's circus got started.

It also shows how a seemingly innocent change like this can snowball into an avalanche of unintended consequences.

Anyway, 4500 retweets later and the party continues.

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.

TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1
