I wonder if integrating any of the gnu social twitter bridges or plugins would get the best of both worlds? Does anyone have experience implementing something like this: https://wiki.loadaverage.org/gnusocial/plugins/twitterbridge https://wiki.loadaverage.org/gnusocial/plugins/twitterbridge ?

Everyone I know who has tried Twitter Bridge has found it utterly destroys the performance of your server.

  Ah, ok. Still, I think i will set up an instance, try the bridge out, and if thrashing occurs, kill the bridge. Thanks again!

    If you have a problem, reach out using the !gnusocial group and there may be some people who will help you.

This isn't at all the same, but I think it's in general category of "transition easers": https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com Basically, it shows you which of your Twitter friends have signed up for Mastodon and registered themselves. It does nothing to share content between the two worlds, but that's probably for the best.

  Yep, I knew about that; but appreciate it. Right now, discovery is not my priority...its more about me being lazy to post my stuff to multiple UIs. Its 2017, my lazy self simply wants to post to my gnu social, and have computers under my control auto-post to maybe 1 or 2 other destination silos (cough https://indieweb.org/POSSE https://indieweb.org/POSSE cough) Again, thx anyway! ;-)
