Twitter bridges, pros and cons

[pronoiac]

Pros:

• maybe helpful for people to get away from reading Twitter directly

Cons:

• can take up a good chunk of media space
• Mike Masnick: "I will admit that it's a slightly frustrating experience when I respond to a post here on Mastodon only to realize after that it's an auto-crosspost, and the person isn't here and isn't going to respond. "Why bother?"
