The goal of #Mastodon was, appeal to old ex #Twitter users. Success.
#Pleroma, appeal to nerds. Success.
#Soapbox, appeal to new ex #Twitter users. Success.
Of course all the software is still approaching their goals at varying speeds, but they're honestly largely complete. If you left the software alone for five years it'd all probably be fine.
Cross-posting images Friendica/Twitter
Cross-posting to #Twitter is still important for me because I have ~500 #followers there.
However, if I send #posts with #images to Friendica and Twitter, the Twitter version does not display the image; just the link. Obviously, that's a problem for getting #attention. As a consequence, I post on #TweetDeck and then channel it to Friendica. But I want to forget about logging into Twitter...
Any hint, on how to embed images in Friendica posts for #crossposting to Twitter?

I can send anything to Twitter, but my own posts...
However, I tried in various ways (direct, quote share) to send my own post (inviting people to my Friendica instance 😉, containing a link to http://mexico-pensante.blog). This one never arrived. Is there any filter that prevents advertising the own network, ...?

¿How to "activate" the Twitter addon in Friendica?
But now? I cannot see any Twitter button/ menu. How can I configure what to read/post to Twitter?

Infected by the Fediverse Virus: How to connect all in Friendica?
BUT: How can I integrate elegantly different #Fediverse accounts to my main (own) server? Currently, I use my own Friendica server (admin, mexico-pensante.net) a Friendica account at nerdica.net (thanks for hosting @Ingo Jürgensmann !!!), and a mastodon.social account.
Ideally, I want to use them all (and also future ones, maybe #PeerTube, #Pixelfed) from my main Friendica account, to avoid logging on/off, switching to different webpages, etc. Is there a solution already?

Mit dem Update heute wurden Veränderungen am #Twitter Connector vorgenommen. Seit dem ist er Tod. Ist das auch Anderen so passiert?
- Original: https://twitter.com/princessxemnas/status/1485412045164056577
- Retweet: https://twitter.com/InspectorNerd/status/1485430899151802368
Both share activity numbers but only the original status shows the replies. I wonder if comments on the retweet are automatically attached to the original post? I'm not even sure how to access the retweet status URL outside of the API.
If I understand correctly, this is the chain of causality:
- Encourage users to follow as many accounts as possible to boost Engagment™.
- Timeline becomes impossible to read, filter it.
- Send notifications about posts that may have been missed because of the filter.
This is completely irrelevant for me since I only follow people I want to read everything they publish, and I'm doing so either on #Friendica or on Twitter where I regularly have to switch back to "Latest tweets first" from the non-chronological filtered timeline.

Anonymität im Netz: Rassist:innen kommentieren mit identifizierbaren Accounts

How about you mind your own business, #Twitter ?
The solution to social problems will not be an additional click to share articles.
This just shows that network total size just isn't a relevant metrics when choosing a social media platform.
They even built an entirely new feature around his account because the last thing they wanted is to suspend it for engagement reasons. The little panels indicating that his tweets were possibly misleading the public about an election were just a workaround to keep his account online as long as possible.
Meanwhile, antifascist and women accounts have been suspended even without clear violation of the Twitter terms of service, just because an alt-right mob bogusly reported one of their tweet. So if Twitter wasn't coming for *you* before they banned Trump, they will not come for you next, you haven't been anywhere near Trump in terms of importance for Twitter's own business.

if embedding (previews) of links is not working for you in #Friendica, no matter if #Twitter links or some other previews, you have to deactivate the Twitter addon and activate it again, this solves the problem and afterwards you get nice emedded previews for links again!

Still on the #Fediverse 's 12th birthday's occasion, I wrote a blurb comparing it to #Twitter
Enjoy! #Fediverse12 #HappyFedi2U
I can use nitter.net instead, but then the feed import would have to be tweaked.
Isn't it possible to just retrieve a tweets text and media? That pretty much sounds like a scraper job, but maybe the API allows this too? I think #IFTTT can get the Tweets text, not sure about the media.
