btw this is also the reason I don't think syndicating the same post to multiple social media platforms works these days — whether you do this via POSSE or using a tool like Hootsuite. You can kind of tell it's a post sent to various places, because it's not tailored to a certain community. Also, I find the people who do this often don't engage in some of the places the post ends up in — which feels rude to me. #YMMV
@ricmac Sometimes when someone I've encountered here seems just barely interesting enough to follow and I need one additional little bit of info to push me in favor or against clicking the button, I like to glance at their “Replies” tab to see if they ever actually talk to people or if they're just here to broadcast. #FediConfession
