The [Read Rust Twitter account][read_rust] crossed over 10K followers in the
|
||
|
|
last few days. Amazingly 4350 of those coming after I stopped regular posting.
|
||
|
|
This got me thinking about the account and how I might be able
|
||
|
|
to use it to benefit the community while avoiding the overhead that led me to
|
||
|
|
[winding things down in Sep 2020](@/posts/2020/slowing-read-rust-posting.md).
|
||

In that post I noted:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Whilst I think there is value in the curation and archiving of posts on Read
|
||
|
|
> Rust, the website doesn't see a lot of use. I think most of the value for
|
||
|
|
> people is following the [Twitter], [Mastodon], and [Facebook] accounts.
|
||
|
|
> However, there's a fair amount of overlap between posts shared on [/r/rust],
|
||
|
|
> [@rustlang], and [This Week in Rust][twir]. So, I think that if folks keep an
|
||
|
|

Since then the @rustlang Twitter account has become much less active, so
|
||
|
|
perhaps there is room for the Read Rust Twitter account as well. My plan is to
|
||
|
|
resume using @read_rust, but I will not be seeking out content to post like I
|
||
|
|
did previously. I'll retweet interesting things that I come across during my
|
||
|
|
usual reading and will _consider_ sharing posts that mention @read_rust.
|
||
|
|
Hopefully that represents a sustainable time commitment.

Onwards! 🦀
