Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting?

  @meldrik @LegoBrickOnFire What #CMS does your company have? What are you currently using for #Sociallistening / #socialmediamanagement ? Do you manage your own website? - Some background on these would help a heap.

  Could simply creating a basic #ActivityPub server using #Wordpress or something else on your domain and then using a #crossposting to echo your #Twitter posts work as a starting point?

    We have accounts on Buffer and Later Social, but they don’t seem active. I’ll look into what you said about wordpress. maybe that’s the best option. (I hope we are using wordpress now and not that weird system… but I digressl

      @LegoBrickOnFire Well if you are using Buffer then keep using it - that's a start - (you can add a Mastodon channel) - Later social (is that later.com?) - Whats the website ? we can easily check. Honestly until (and yes I know I bang on) brands really learn the value of Owned media (which if you are using your own domain - then ActivityPub stuff is really something you own) - then they won't understand the value of Activitypub. - I cringe everytime I see a brand/organisation Fediverse account not using its own domain. If you want them to not screw up - then I recommend a combination of their own server on their own domain and actually making an effort to engage on the topic area (without being spammy)

        I will remember that. For now I don’t think I will suggest self-hosting a mastodon instance (that’s what you are suggesting, right?) because we are a small non-profit and the less complexity, the better :)

  You can selfhost it. The reason it’s expensive, is because of their AI stuff, I think.

    @meldrik @LegoBrickOnFire Please tell me you don't get the #ai features if you selfhost :wink:

      Not by default. But I can’t remember if you can actually set up AI with the selfhosted version.
