I removed the Twitter link from the navigation menu on the mainsite. Each space on the navigation bar is valuable real estate, and I want to make sure that each line is actively used.
We don't actively post on our Twitter anymore, and I don't know of anyone who plans to get it going again.
Twitter has made a lot of changes over the past couple of years. It's now hard for unregistered users to view Twitter, and we don't have a way to link to our Twitter feed on the forums or Discord anymore. I don't want anyone to feel like they're missing out on something MFGG-related if they choose not to make a Twitter account and log in to it regularly.
We used to get good engagement on our Twitter - sometimes. However, the more recent posts didn't always pick up much traction. I think more MFGGers are moving to Bluesky or moving on from social media in general.
Maybe we could attract more activity on the forums, mainsite, and Discord if we used Twitter and Bluesky actively, but I'm not 100% sure that traffic from Twitter or Bluesky would be good activity. Either way, we're better off focusing our efforts on improving MFGG's software, taking better care of the queue, or even making better use of YouTube.
If someone thinks that prominently linking to our Twitter is super-important, feel free to make your case here.
