I wouldn't say we are promoting Twitter accounts, as much as doing ocassional crossposts (from there to here, and from here to there if desired).
There IS content that is on twitter only atm, and is valuable. I would like to see a bot to bring me:
- Scientific American
- The Economist
- BBC News
- The Atlantic
...for example. Some of the above I have searched and not found a bot for. There is one for Economist, but I think it only posts a small fraction of their active TW stream.
I have seen a respected programmer and sys admin (Nolan, creator of Pinafor, and admin at Toot.cafe) mentioning how tired he was of seeing the "RT from..." tags in posts.
There IS a lot of junk there, which is completely fine staying there.
Won't deny there is some content we could enjoy here too. 😉
