From e5225bdc5ff12485cbb32136e24328190bc203ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Wienand <iwienand@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 10:37:13 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] statusbot: disable Twitter posting The new TOS of Twitter and subsequent enforcement actions are sufficiently vague that a link in our profile to opendev.org, which contains links to other "social" things like mailing lists, IRC and Mastodon may be a TOS violation. I think communicating our overall message from opendev.org to a wide audience is important (why I fixed statusbot twitter posting previously) -- but given the instability of the provider I also have no interest in debugging or fixing statusbot if something about failing to post to Twitter also happens to break the other posting methods, especially over the coming holiday break. To be fair it's not like this was perfect and never going to break. What has changed is that the ratio of chance-of-breaking/my-interest-in-fixing was very very low, but is now very very high (lower numbers are better :). If this becomes a viable method of communication in the future we can always re-enable it.
