Drew DeWalt is there and a number of others, especially the creators of the fediverse like Eugene and others ;-)

FWIW you can also use an account on i.e. Mastodon to follow twitter users. I suddenly realized because I was following a twitter users through a gateway, probably because someone had boosted a tweet from that account sometime and I had followed based on that.

That should take care of following at least.




I didn't realize this was a feature, and I haven't been able to find any information on how to follow Twitter users in this way. How do you go about doing it? If I can follow select Twitter users on Mastodon, that would really incentivize me to use it further.


This isn't an official feature. People run bots to syndicate tweets. Some people use crossposters.


Mind sharing more information on this? I have a Mastodon account but never even noticed this.
