there is exactly once instance in which i think a crossposter makes sense and it's for bots. otherwise don't do that shit
okay you know what I have one other exception and it's postybirb, but that's more of a post distributor than a crossposter. artists can have a tool to post once, as a treat
can't wait for people to set up crossposters here and then never actually participate with the site in any way whatsoever
bonus points if they @ someone on Twitter and it goes into the crossposter as @cyansorcery@twitter.com
I can't even begin the imagine how unmanageable the sheer volume of like a hundred bite sized low-content chosts one after another would be, before you get into all the duplication from shares and propagated RTs...
Also the complete lack of chill
personally i've always thought crossposters are just, terrible ideas if you use it for all your posts. like, i've used mastodon for a number of years now, and i can't even count the amount of times i've seen someone "quit twitter", join mastodon, turn on the crossposter, then give up and go back to twitter and only post using that.
it's just the lazy way out really, and i hate it every single time lol
RSS is a thing folks ;A; Otherwise, yeah, no crossposting. Especially how WILDLY different feel the site has. Longer and slow posts, more fuller content and just I'm like... why?
