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.
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.
