   IIt's important to note that Masto (and the fediverse) is not an 'alternative Twitter'. It's an entirely different platform that has its own unique culture. We don't chase likes or follows or popularity, we don't present as brands or 'personalities'. We care about each others' personal lives and wholesome engagement on a more individual level.

   If you're going to use a Masto to Twitter crossposter, please keep this in mind, and ideally, cross post from here to there, and not there to here.

     @Curator I like that I can make long form posts that crosspost to twitter, and they can click on the concatinated link like blog posts since the character count is so long. Its allowed for twitter to have one of the few advantages of FB, nuance.

     @foervraengd that seems so bizarre that the official app would leave out this function, I wonder what the reasoning for choosing to hide it is?

     For example:

     Image descriptions don't carry over with crossposts, and the community here generally cares more about accessibility.

     We keep long threads in 'unlisted' chains because we care about not spamming people with content.

     We don't talk about things that might be Twitter-specific trends because most of us came here to get away from Twitter. We're not interested in what's going on over there and won't click through links to get context on conversations.

     @Curator regarding the unlisted thing: another big issue is that a lot of ppl coming from twitter will probably use the official mastodon ios app. and that one doesnt include the option to set your post ad “unlisted”. so a lot of new users might not even know it exists, because theyre mobile users mainly.
