@rmdes here is my n8n workflow for taking an RSS feed from a mastodon user and posting that to twitter
It can sure be made more sophisticated but it works in basic form
Main point is that it requires a Twitter OAuth login, which is usually (always?) obtained by having a Twitter API registration which gives you the credentials needed to be input in your n8n.
It is not your normal Twitter login.
Getting a Twitter API account is not difficult but it's not entirely straight forward. They seem to randomly accept/reject for unclear reasons. But if you have one already or are patient to go through the process, you should be good to go.
Cam't seem to attach a file so you may have to copy/paste this into a .json file and then import that into your new n8n workflow.
