@lioh I'm not sure I agree. I am against crossposting from twitter mostly because it means the user isnt responsive here, so it comes across as spam.
But I think thats a different argument. In fact if they are responsive and active here im not sure its a huge issue.

@lioh It makes sense because then I know its a post from twitter and that they are talking to someone from twitter, so I understand the context, and likewise understand the person they are refering to isnt a mastodon user.
Obviously if your talking to someone who also has a mastodon handle then it makes sense to resolve the handle to point to them, but that is rarely case and as such makes sense to leave the twitter handle in to me.

@lioh I unfollow crossposters too, mostly because as I said they tend to be spammy, posting but not being an active contributor to the thread here.
But my motivations for unfollowing them is very different. I dont think simply referencing a closed system is a good reason to shun someone and like i said in the case that such a cross poster is active here and on the threads they post then I wont take issue with it. Its just that most cross posters arent, thats the only issue I see.
People will use the system they want to do. I really dont care about if they "point" some users to twitter, if we are going to loose those users to twitter that would happen regardless in most cases.
