There’s also a third subset of people who say cross posting is bad, to which I say “cool”

@sophie it's the whole internet that's Bad, actually.

@Kilian @sophie Every time I see this Romeo & Juliet thing about which social medium is the hottest and the bestest and the most responsible, I think of the wise words of @adactio who wrote: "they’re all just syndication endpoints to me"

@paul @Kilian @sophie @adactio a proper fediverse syndication however is not via copies. Instead your own blog becomes a fediverse publisher and integrates natively. This means for example that people can comment on your articles directly on their own instances and you can reply from your own blog. I just set this up this week in my end dbzer0.com/blog/this-blog-is-n

@sophie Never understood the "Cross posting is bad" concept.
The internet is about communication? Why is it bad to communicate in multiple places?

@hazz223 @sophie Because
1) ... you actively promote an unsafe, for-profit service and create FOMO in those who are not on there.
2) ... you do not authentically interact on your "secondary" platform, you merely copy and paste from your actual primary hangout space. It's like getting a party invite where the original recipient was replaced with you by a whiteout pen.
3) ... it is likely that you crosspost just to get more "reach" which points towards an uncomfortable clout-chasing personality.

@hazz223 @sophie High risk of talking to one’s self… and not in a good way.

@hazz223 @sophie Does communication work with cross-posting? I thought that was when your posts end up on multiple platforms but you only see replies on your native platform.

@LilithElina Really depends on the way you do it. I've seen some apps are coming out that enable cross posting, all feeds combined, and more.

@hazz223 @LilithElina If both sides use brid.gy they're able to communicate. You don't need an app for that and you don't need a second account.

@katzentratschen @hazz223 Yeah, but a lot of people have not bridges their account.

@LilithElina @hazz223 We're talking about two people in love "communicating exclusively over the fedi bridge".

@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina so if i use brid.gy, do i open up a portal of evil to my home instance? i'm not quite clear on the techy details.

@rothko @hazz223 @LilithElina No other users on your home instance or any other instance are affected if you bridge your account – unless they bridge their account, too. If you boost a post of an un-bridged account, it won't show up on Bluesky. It's strictly opt-in.

@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina thank you!!! a group of old friends on FB is ditching it for bluesky and i'm all thanks but no thanks. this is helpful.

rothko

@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina so if i boost a post from someone over here, will it show up for any bluesky users that follow me here?

Katzentratschen

@rothko @hazz223 @LilithElina If and only if this someone bridges their account. Therefore OP's post doesn't show up on Bluesky.

@hazz223 @sophie For a lot of accounts, you can tell they're primarily somewhere else and don't actually engage "across the bridge". So it becomes a one way channel.

@hazz223 @sophie only thing I can think of is often people who post using a cross posting tool don't then engage in conversations because the tool they use is a posting tool not a reading and replying tool. The only thing they read is their follow counts.

@hazz223 @sophie it’s a personal choice. I came here for peace. I don’t want to see anything on any other sites.

Some of us don't want to train AI with our free labor for billionaire cunts. That's why I reject cross posting. ❤️

@sophie it's the LinkedIn/Fediverse crossposters that tickle me. @jasongorman posting provocative software engineering questions that work just as well here as on LinkedIn

@jackeric @sophie @jasongorman What I think would be cool is if eventually there wasn't as much of a need for cross posting. If everything is federated together then you could post Software Engineering content from your Mastodon account and people on LinkedIn could interact

@sophie people who think the other platform is bad for sure are going to think that crossposting is also bad.

@sophie I cross post. People splintered themselves to different, yet similar, services, I’m just trying to talk about dumb things I enjoy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@sophie I stopped cross-posting because I was worried about autodeletion not working on my BlueSky mirror account.

@sophie Crossposting without the possibility of communication is the sound of one hand clapping - might as well read a book.
