'Croissant' App for Cross-Posting on Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon Coming to Mac and iPad

Over the past few weeks, millions of people have signed up for Threads and Bluesky. With those platforms and Mastodon, there are now three prominent alternatives to X, but this means there are now more social media communities to be part of than ever. Posting across all three platforms can be tedious, but thankfully there is an app for that.

Croissant App
Croissant is a well-designed iPhone app that allows you to cross-post across Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon simultaneously, complete with support for images, hashtags, and tagging other accounts with the correct handle per platform. This convenience comes at a cost, as you will need to pay $2.99 per month, $19.99 per year, or a one-time fee of $59.99 to unlock the app's core function of posting across multiple accounts.

The developers of the app Aaron Vegh and Ben McCarthy are currently working on expanding the app to the Mac and iPad. In the meantime, the iPhone Mirroring feature on macOS Sequoia is a decent solution for using the iPhone app on the Mac.

Croissant does not support posting to X, but it is a useful tool for those who have jumped ship from the website formerly known as Twitter.

When you don’t want to use the largest social media network but want to smear your stuff across three lesser ones, this is the app for you!
X is undoubtedly still the largest, but I think it has become a very toxic and negative place. The replies section on this post ('https://x.com/NewsWire_US/status/1857119870606881253'), for example, is full of hostility, racism, crude jokes, and memes. I don't know who finds joy in that sort of thing, but it isn't me. I'd rather read positive things and get along with people.

The migration of tech Twitter to these sad little Twitter clones has made the whole cast of Apple bloggers from the last 10-20 years utterly irrelevant. Marco Arment, Federico Vitticci, Jim Dalrymple, John Gruber, et al, have all sequestered themselves in a Threads/Mastodon echo chamber with their circle of "elite tech friends", becoming increasingly bitter and out of touch about both Twitter and Apple/tech in general. Their output now consists mainly of ranting about Apple's developer policies, shaking their fist at generative AI and bemoaning that the Mac doesn't get enough attention above "new fangled" devices like the iPad, Watch and Vision Pro that they refuse to embrace. I only know this because I occasionally listen to their podcasts after a keynote and hear them all repeating each other's whiny opinions.
Gruber, Viticci and I suspect the others are doing just fine outside of the cesspool formerly known as twitter. I celebrate their integrity and clear demonstration that decency and their values are more important than social media following.

I continue to enjoy not being part of these “social media communities”, I had and used a FB account when my kids were teenagers but haven’t touched that in 5+ years, don’t miss it.

Bluesky feels a lot like the old twitter. No ads, no content farms being boosted on my for you feed, no twitter blue users spamming replies to make money off engagement.

I prefer unfiltered over sanitized, myself. To each their own!
