I understand the disdain for cross-posting to e.g. Twitter and Mastodon. But on the other hand… why would you post different things to different places? Other than replies—and things that specifically pertain to one site or the other—how would you decide which to post to anyway?

I get it, cross posts are annoying, but only having some of your followers see each thing you post seems worse.
