[snarfed] re: "hook other apps up to it" — that's what IndieAuth + Micropub is for! Not a software-specific API IMO

For folks that actively use a separate Mastodon account on someone else's server rather than federating their personal site, what are you use-cases for that? Or is it simply a matter of "easier", i.e. too much work to setup BridgyFed / WP plugin to federate?

If you are on existing silos, then yes, the point is to ALWAYS* post first on your personal site, and then post a copy to the silo. This does not equate to "post everything on your personal site to THAT silo" and I'm not sure how people seemingly misinterpret POSSE like this. * = with notable exceptions where it's hard (Swarm, IG) or there's value add in what the silo does (Strava).
