Testing Automatic Feeding to Our Mastodon Account (@VolokhC@Liberdon.Com) via MastoFeed
I just learned, several months after it happened, that our automatic feeding to Mastodon stopped earlier this year, because the auto-feed service (moa.party) shut down. I'm now trying MastoFeed.org, and this is my test post.
UPDATE: Looks like it's working.

Well, you're here.
Do you ever get in trouble because your posts include words forbidden on some Mastodon servers? Some administrators have a policy that they will not associate with other servers unless the other servers' administrators agree to follow the same censorship rules.
No trouble -- if a mastodon server decides to block us, or our server, they can block us. (I have no idea to what extent, if any, this has happened.) If liberdon dislikes that to kick us off, nothing really lost, though I haven't seen any indication that liberdon would have any inclination.
The issue as I understand it is a Mastodon server that allows you to use bad words will be ostracized by others making your content harder to find. A server that focuses on knitting and bans pro-Trump content will be more visible to the world.
@volokhc@bird.makeup seems live, though no followers (except me, now). @volokhconspirac@bird.makeup is also valid. No idea if your xitter posts are getting promulgated though. (Viewing via mas.to)
If I had a mastodon I'd try to have it fed automatically also.
Might be risky otherwise.
