Excellent!

I have achieved my goal of controlling what gets crossposted/federated where and when and the formatting of same depending on where it’s going.

I’m very happy about this because Mastodon, Twitter, and Micro.blog have very different cultures, and while I’m not arrogant enough to say I’ve added anything to any of them, I do want to make sure that the technology I use has the affordances necessary to accommodate each community’s culture as long as I’m participating in each of these communities.

Twitter I’m pretty much leaving by the wayside, except maybe to check in once in a while with the people who for the time being seem to be very angry about Mastodon, and of course Micro.blog is a community I thoroughly enjoy participating in because of it’s more relaxed atmosphere. Mastodon, once again, has other things that make it worth participating in for me, so I’ll be participating there too.

I just don’t necessarily want the content I post to each of these to necessarily be the same content across all three communities all the time.

Currently frustrated with some very loud Twitter Migration folks. I’m glad you guys are checking out the fediverse through Mastodon, but we are explicitly not a Twitter clone, people have a right to curate their timelines and some of that is done through content warnings, feedback is fine but being a jerk about it is an excellent way to make sure that feedback is ignored, and none of us told you to come over here and completely disrespect the community norms we’ve collectively established. We’re sorry Twitter’s imploding, and we get that you’re mourning that on top of having to adjust to a new community. But we didn’t create any of these problems and we shouldn’t be expected to solve them for you without so much as "please" from you either.
