POSSE: Reclaiming social media in a fragmented world

A simple technique offers the best of both worlds: total control over your own work, while still maintaining a presence on third-party platforms.Via @molly0xfff

I block all cross-posted material as best I can. Whilst I get the idea of owning your own material, I'm not willing to engage with anyone who can't take the time to be present on a platform. I got properly fed up with references to twitter on Mastodon as 'this site' from people who were just posting here to adopt a presence but were unwilling to engage. Same with all bridged accounts etc. Not interested. -
@MostlyTato @kim_harding i know you don’t follow me but i’d be really curious to hear if you feel that way about my posts? i do cross-post but i try to do so as organically as possible, and am curious if it comes across in the way you describe. (no worries if you don’t wish to)

It depends. Its not actually the idea itself I have an issue with, its that in my experience, I've only encountered those who posted to twitter first then cross posted here just for a presence but ignored any response. That pisses me off. But if people actually engage, I have no problem with the mechanism they use to post. -
@MostlyTato gotcha, appreciate that! i know what you’re describing and agree with you
