Decided to join #Bluesky. I'm not leaving Mastodon/Chaosfem, and this is still my primary social media home, especially for #trans #transfem and #queer conversation and connection. But I dropped Facebook and want another account where my non-Mastodon savvy friends are, too.

Anyway, if anyone here wants to add, here's me 🫴

Maybe? @jasmine is kindly explaining to me that I very much misunderstood how the bridge works and what it does and filling me in while being extremely kind and patient with me, for which I am extremely grateful! ✨

So, I'll get back to you when I figure this out, lol

@revoluciana @dalias but I just made it more confusing than necessary 😑

@jasmine haha, you're wonderful and no worries at all!!

Okay. So, I've read the documentation and everything I'm struggling a little at this point and maybe y'all can help answer...

If I already have created accounts on each platform, what's the benefit of the bridge vs simply cross-posting (whether manual or automated)?

Isn't cross-posting more concise? 2 accounts vs 4 accounts?

@revoluciana @dalias I think it is, yes? except that any replies you get will be unconditionally stuck in their respective network.

@jasmine @dalias oh, I see. Hmmm. I will have to give it more thought. I guess the benefit is more for followers than for me as a poster, but that's fine, I think, as long as it doesn't make things *more* tedious on my end then that sounds like a good idea.
