  • If you prefer to keep your Twitter account and cross-post to Mastodon and vice versa, you can use some tools to do so, including writing your own scripts using Twitter and Mastodon APIs. My personal favorite is moa.party. It supports cross-posting to and from Twitter and Mastodon and is simple to setup and use. It can also post from Instagram to Mastodon. It is open-source, and you can host it yourself if you don't want to give the service access to your Twitter/Mastodon accounts using OAuth.
