There are still people who are happy enough on Twitter for now, but who might want to share an interesting post from mastodon.social. Not everyone is the comically exaggerated caricature you have in your head, most people are just normal users that want to tweet things to their friends.

So others know where to find you - there's a bunch of tools for that, but unless you use the same one it doesn't work. Can't think of a more efficient way personally. Though I don't think anyone needs to be obnoxious about it with series of tweets and stuff.

why can't I post links to my mastodon.social posts then? (I'm on Twitter, and I've been in Mastodon for many years -- this hasn't been the case before).
Can you post links to mastodon.social on Twitter?

It's a lot harder to decentralize when you have decentralized tools...
There's some corollary here to the law of momentum that allows social networks to become juggernauts. It probably applies to repressive governments as well. Maybe: The more entrenched the system is, the more you have to use the system's own tooling to get people to escape it?

It was designed as a security feature but it's been coopted to block competitors (or anyone else the CEO takes a personal disliking to). Therefore calling it an "anti-Mastadon" filter is accurate in this context, no matter the specifics of how that filter is currently implemented.

#10The pivot from “I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law”[1] to “I get to use censorship to kneecap a competitor because it’s my site now” was almost comically quick.
