@xor automated crossposting runs into two main failure modes:

- author set up cross posting and left, meaning that replying or boosting those posts is pointless, even if they're ostensibly asking for advice or stuff like that

- automated crossposting reposts tons of irrelevant / extremely twitterlocal stuff that doesn't make sense in a different social context

It's kinda funny but I get second-hand stage fright when watching concerts. I'm just there thinking "oh no, what if they trip!! what if they sing out of tune accidentally"

One thing that I have learned over my years on the Internet is that when it comes to abuse you believe women first.

That's not to say that all women are genuine in their claims of abuse. That means that when there is the hint of abuse that you look at it from the POV of the woman making the claim.

This goes for technology issues as well. If a woman is telling you how something can be weaponized against women then you need to listen to them first. They have the experience.
