RT @mentalsnapshot@twitter.com

Speaking from experience:
just because something is "not ready for production"
DOES NOT MEAN it doesn't get shoved into production anyway 🤪 twitter.com/mariatta/status/14

@mariatta I'm also a newcomer to this platform but apparently auto-crossposting retweets here is a no-no.

Here's what the Mastodon CEO says: mastodon.social/@Gargron/10135

Here's an article about the nuance: matthiasott.com/notes/syndicat

Here's a great Mastodon primer that advises against crossposting entirely: blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2022-

@ambv @mariatta but that also means that there will be less quality content on here. Many I’m sure are still focusing mostly on Twitter, so cross-posting primary posts (not RTs), particularly if they don’t have Twitter-specific references should be OK

I realise that those who’ve been here long will resent this, but it’s the price to pay for becoming a little more popular, I guess

@ambv @mariatta PS: I realise your comment was about an RT with Twitter handles, but the links go on to discourage any cross-posting. I understand that the _platform_ will prefer that. But is it the right thing for the _people_ on the platform?

@s_gruppetta @mariatta you do you, my personal plan is to try to learn what people already here like and expect.

Mastodon sure looks like Twitter from a bird's eye view (pun not intended) but its philosophy is quite different as its not run as an ad-based algorithmic dopamine catalyst. I'm curious as to how this difference impacts the user experience.
