Doesn’t really matter if it’s officially beehaw or not, fan accounts exist. Afaik fan accounts exist on twitter for hexbear:
https://twitter.com/Hexbear_io
https://twitter.com/chapo_chat
Similar to elon, posts on twitter dont have to be about any topic in particular. Eventually an enemy of the bees will make a fake official looking beehaw acct to make the bees look bad.
I would do it, but i don’t toot or tweet enough. But i will subscribe to you if you make an acct. Could even do it as a join acct to enable enough daily action
There is a beehaw redddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/beehaw-lemmy
there are also (official?) wolfballs and lemmygrad promotional reddit accounts.
There is a beehaw Reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/beehaw-lemmy
Yes. I made that as well as the Beehaw subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/beehaw/
I don’t mind if someone else would like to make a Twitter Beehaw account. I’ve never used Twitter, for various reasons, and I don’t intend to start now.
The structure of twitter means it would take a lot of work to build any kind of following and even then have low conversion to beehaw users. A placeholder or low effort account would be merely whispering into the void. All of that effort would be better spent posting on beehaw and making it a more inviting place. In my mind I think there is no promotional value in jumping on that sinking ship.
This is so true. Even if you DO manage to get a large following on Twitter you only reach a fraction of your followers. That’s been seen since they introduced the views metric on tweets. Fully agree that just having more content here is probably the best thing to do.
I joined Mastodon after Elon’s antics and I probably wouldn’t have stayed if there wasn’t a vibrant community. Content is king in social media.
I would be surprised of all of those accounts dont get shadow-banned
@[email protected] , something to consider for midwest.social too
thanks for the ping. I’m kinda in the same boat as Chris below. I never was a Twitter user and I don’t know the first place to start. I did create a reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/midwestsocial just to claim the name, really. I also experimented with sharing a /c/ community in reddit subs, and that went about as well as expected (banned from one, attacked by right-wing users in another, and ignored in a third). I don’t want to aggressively promote Lemmy stuff like that, otherwise people will see us as spammers.
McDonald’s and Starbucks do max aggression advertising and very few people complain.
Ex I’m in a public bathroom right now and there is a McDonald’s advertisement
