+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).
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+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
+> eye on one or more of those they will still see most posts of note.
+
+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! 🦀
