Thanks for the links! Do you know if it is possible to subscribe (?) to two Mastodon servers at once? Say I am at a San Francisco server but also want to see what people post on an LA server, is there a straight forward way to do that or do I need to maintain two separate accounts on both servers?
You can follow specific accounts from another server (say follow user@la.social from you@sf.social). However currently you cannot follow another server entierly (aka. local timeline). If you want both local timelines, you have to register two accounts.

Some clients allow for this. I use Toot on iOS and I can swipe to get to the local timelines I’ve configured, as if they were another account for me.
When MS bought github many people moved to gitlab and started to advertise their gitlab IDs. I too put my gitlab in there. But ultimately, gitlab didn't catch on on a permanent basis: most devs still are on github, thanks to network effects. People removed their gitlab mentions. I feel the same with the "find me on mastodon" twitter bios: people will realize that only 50 of their thousands of followers can be found o…
people will realize that only 50 of their thousands of followers can be found on mastodon, and then move back in a few weeks This may vary by community. A big chunk of the Infosec community has migrated and seems quite happy about it. Other communities may do the same, particularly if they feel that Twitter isn't likely to be a safe place for them given Musk's increasingly Qbert attitudes.

Carmack was clearly cross-posting, not promoting Facebook. Twitter doesn't generally allow long form posts like that, so it clearly falls under the cross-posting part of the policy. I don't like this policy either, but let's not make up reasons for it to be bad. There are plenty of real reasons.
The policy says comments like, "follow me @ on Instagram" are explicitly forbidden. One could very easily argue linking to ones own Facebook post could fall afoul.

reasonable and rational discussion: "this is a dumb business decision" "this is seemingly hypocritical based on his previous stated intentions" "what might the motivation be here?" "is this legal?" these are some of the top responses that loaded for me: "Thin-skinned narcissist buys criticism machine." "Elon's mask has truly cracked, and he proves he is nothing but a febrile mind who has bought into his own hype. " "…
> this is a dumb business decision Yeah sure, an empty statement calling something dumb with no other information is “reasonable and rational”.
