Hi. I recently contributed pr 1134 in which the bot says that it'll be announced on twitter.
That integration seems broken, as there's been nothing on the Twitter timeline for over a year. I presume it's been broken since API changes happened on Twitter.
Is it perhaps worth creating an account over on Mastodon - or some other platform - to raise awareness and celebrate contributions, and the awesome-docker repo?
At the absolute minimum, it's probably worth removing mentions of twitter both in the readme and the bot replies, if it's not working?

Thanks for opening your first issue here!

Hi @popey,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. If I remember correctly, @vegasbrianc was the one to set it up back then.
See #1138 for the changes.
Personally, I'm already notified of all the changes on GitHub because I'm a reviewer for PRs but I'm happy to help to send updates somewhere.
What would you recommend?
Have you done those integration before?
Can you recommend a tool or an API to facilitate that? :)
@popey commented on GitHub (Jul 13, 2024):
I guess it comes down to whether there's actual value in announcing repo updates to social media. I just scrolled back through the twitter posts from the account and it gets near zero engagement.
So maybe it's just not worthwhile? I don't know.
I know that it's possible to setup a bot account on a mastodon server, such as https://botsin.space/ and https://mastodon.bot/ and get an API then use a GitHub action like mastodon-send can be added to this repo to announce over there.
But again, I don't know how worthwhile it is, sorry. 🤷

Indeed, thanks for confirming that there isn't much value added by having that on social media. Let's merge the PR that removes the mention. Thank you for your insight.
