In my humble opinion, that's what ruined indenti.ca back in the day. If you're mirroring Twitter and losing the interactions you have in GNU Social, your account is just a bot and you're not really using the social network.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoWhich account is the bot?
- st3v3r 11y agoDoes someone have a client that can work with both? Because, lets face it, Twitter is the 800 lb gorilla in the room. Most people, if they want to try this out, would also like to maintain their activity on Twitter. Hopefully there would be some way that you can do both, and be alerted to messages and replies on both, and even have a unified timeline in one app. (And if you're not interested in maintaining presence on Twitter as well, that's great, I'm happy for you, but please don't reply just to say that. It's not interesting or contributing to the discussion in the least).
- reidrac 11y agoMy point was that mirroring Twitter on identi.ca made identi.ca worse. Lots of people were automatically posting their Twitter updates on identi.ca, but never replying or caring about the interactions they had there. Same with blogs RSS feeds being fed to identi.ca. I don't know where we are with multi-protocol clients. Back then I was using https://launchpad.net/gwibber https://launchpad.net/gwibber (before it was rewritten to use CouchDB and stopped working for me, I don't know what is its current status). I didn't post like that, I had two accounts and used both; until I got bored of bots on identi.ca and, in practice, I was only using Twitter. EDIT: changed Gwibber link to launchpad as the .com doesn't seem to be maintained.
- Gracana 11y agoGood point. FWIW I imagined doing it in the opposite direction, using GNU Social with things connected back to twitter in some way.
