Add an option to ignore Tweets that have too many @-mentions

Open pietsch opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

A friendly Mastodon instance operator asked me not to crosspost tweets with a lot of @-mentions. Would you please add an option that takes a non-negative integer as input and makes the bridge ignore tweets with more @-mentions than that?

Alternatively, tweets with more @-mentions than the specified threshold could be crossposted with visibility “unlisted”.

Hm, that sounds a bit overly complicated. I would just add a "do not crosspost tweets with mentions", I don't see a good case to crosspost 1 mention, but not 10 :thinking:

I also think this might be related to #106 .

By all means, let's try the simple solution first. It might do the job.

I think that this issue is not related to #106 because my use case is non-replies.

I think We've found a solution over at https://github.com/renatolond/mastodon-twitter-poster/issues/606 !

just add "@" to the ignore list, it works! at least for me.
