 With the Twitter reinstatement of the former US President who attempted to incite a fascist coup after losing an election, now would _really_ be a good time to stop cross-posting your Twitter RTs here. If you feel that cross-posting is the only way to maintain a presence here, please consider limiting it to original posts without mentions or RTs, to avoid cluttering timelines with Twitter URLs. Thank you kindly for your consideration. 26 comments
 @eloquence I'm about to delete my twitter account. Want a few people to see that I'm doing that, although people have had warning that I've basically left anyway.  @eloquence Some instances already doesn't not allow crossposting one sided from the Β« chicken coop Β» to here. @eloquence Everyone with an account on Twitter has a chance to stand against Trump right now. Youβve been given that chance. What are you going to do with it? @robreed @eloquence what can we do? Generating controversy is exactly what Trump and Elon want. Might be better to remain silent. @eloquence I just deleted my twitter account thanks to Trumpty Dumpty being reinstated. Goodbye, Twitter! @copernicron @eloquence killed mine a few hoirs ago. Screw Musk and his garbage @eloquence Maybe we should cross post more! I mean post here on Mastodon and put a link to the post on Twitter. Forcing people to click the link if they really want to see your post lol @eloquence Do not post RTs via the GW please. It just wastes alot of capacity. I already filter RTs out.  @eloquence thank you. Iβve been trying to tell some people this in different ways. You have said it better than I have. @eloquence I've already blocked Frump so that I don't have to have it polluting my feeds... even though I'm most likely going to delete Twitter as soon as I get the hang of this place anyway. πππ @eloquence and for anyone that doesn't want to unfollow people that post twitter links - remember you can filter: twitter.com and just uncheck the box that says "whole word" @eloquence Folks just step away from Twitter @eloquence It is the work of Democrats to always sow the seed of hate and bitterness. If they don't desist from this evil act, it may damage the country. If we buy Mastodon too, you will run away from it?Then you give yourself no rest.  Hear, hear. Enough already. :D Maybe it's time to put a filter on "@twitter.com" That always stuck out like a sore thumb, like facebook's heinous trying-way-too-hard custom laughter emoji. |

@eloquence we can also filter / drop rts using the "RT @" (quotes included) filter.
Seeing instructions for how to avoid RTs might be more useful to those actually on here.
