Now let's find clever ways to automate the re-publication of toots to twitter!

We can subvert twitter ethically if we

1/ republish what's already published on our decentralized platforms.

2/ do it through robots so we don't disclose any personal or behavioral data

3/ explain people why and how we do it, to encourage them to do the same

@jz Maybe each Mastodon instance could offer a Twitter bridge to users who want their toots to be tweeted.

How would the bridge publish the tweets if the toot is too long?
The beginning of the text + a link to the whole toot?
Or automatically cut the toot in several tweets?

@KillianKemps This could be a configuration choice left to the user. But yeah, I think, way to go! Can instances have plugins or something?

@jz I see no plugins, but there is an OAuth integration to Mastodon's plugins.
So instance admins may have to install a Python script beside Mastodon.

It's the same way that this Twitter Friends Finder works: mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/

@KillianKemps @jz MastodonToTwitter is using the split method and it seems to be working quite nicely
