- Pin a message at the top of the account like the FSF does: https://twitter.com/fsf

I like this strategy, and use it on my own account.

- To be careful not to promote Twitter accounts, or not to give it equal
promotion (e.g. if we're plugging something at the end of a presentation, "Find
us on GNU Social at ..." with no equal airtime to Twitter, but if people ask we
could say "We have a minimal presence on Twitter as well to reach users who
haven't switched to a libre network service yet")

I like this.

- I don't think the GNU Social Twitterbridge does this, but it could be nice if
every Twitter post ended with a canonical link back to the GNU Social post,
POSSE style ( http://indiewebcamp.com/posse )

Could maybe use bri.gy for this, though it requires a bit of manual work to use with GNU social. Could rig up a script to make the bridge automatic like the existing GNU Social twitterbridge is.

(or a LibrePlanetON.ca server!)

Ideally, people should be encouraged to run their own servers.
