Us mods have discussed this.

Our thought is that if we had an official Twitter, it would just currently be a backup to this sub. If we get banned/removed or the site goes down, it would be a place where everyone can look to so they can find out where we are next.

That's as far as we've thought about it, because none of us can wade into the cesspool that is Twitter. That social media platform is a job of its own.

If we had a mod who wanted to take it beyond announcements, and into exposure and getting our message out there to more people ... that would be welcome. But we aren't even getting general mod applications on their own, let alone someone who wants to take on a social media account and grow it.

A Twitter pointer to our new home makes sense. I don't think I'd venture beyond that currently. Twitter has a massive audience, and whoever was running the account would need to be pretty savvy about how they did things, if they were trying to post and reply, etc.

Agreed. Anyone wanting to run our Twitter account would not only need to understand our sub purpose, but also be in the right frame of mind to tackle social media. It would be a really extreme volunteer job, and not for the faint of heart.
