Almost none of them are being shared on Twitter.

[03:20] schestowitz > Thats not fair! [03:20] schestowitz It's impossible unless mastodon messes something up. I post EVERYTHING to diaspora. From there, it gets relayed to Twitter, in the background, and then mastodon picks it from twitter. [03:20] schestowitz I don't check if all the relays work correctly, as they should, so what you're seeing is not me omitting something.

Twitter can go to hell with Musk. [03:20] schestowitz There was DEFINITELY no intention to leave anything out! :-) [03:20] schestowitz There is the same stuff in mastodon, gemini etc. [03:20] schestowitz Maybe even Musk's twitter is rejecting some stuff; maybe it's Twitter's own fault.
