Oddbean new post about login | logout 🤝 The only case for cross-posting that makes sense is if you can receive replies and interact with them in one place. That would be cool, but it will also never happen.
It is bad for engagement though so it defeats the intent even in that case. Useful in some use cases, but mostly it works against you.
I am pretty sure now you guys won't use it, but this tools wouldn't exist without some people requesting it. They might be wrong and their use of this tool will turn against them. We won't know until they try it.
It's a tool. Useful in some cases. Not useful in the way many people think it's useful and use them. That's all. My point isn't that it shouldn't exist, but that cross posting in general is over/misused and won't be effective for most people in the way they think it will be.
I actually agree with your hypothesis, but now we'll run the experiments and see for real.
It's not a hypothesis though. This is nothing new. The only new element is Nostr 🤷♂️ I'm not arguing with you, so I hope it doesn't sound that way. Like I said, people can try it but it's not like this issue hasn't existed for years. Cross posting is intended to save time and increase reach. It ultimately does neither. Content needs to be repurposed for each specific platform. Tools like Hootsuite have been developed to help automate this to some degree, but it is still not as easy as write once and publish everywhere, no matter how much people wish it was that easy. Nostr will be no different. https://youtu.be/-U9lG009s1k?si=XUGXnnKhWkQ5I4Du
