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: https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/
