Remove or replace Twitter/X

[svoop]

I've just pushed a gem release and got the email confirming it. In the footer:

Now, put aside the new management and tone of Twitter/X for a moment, it's not possible to view the Rubygems Twitter/X profile without having logged in to Twitter/X. This renders this microblog useless for folks like me who – for one reason or another – have decided to leave Twitter/X.

Obviously, I can't see whether there's anything interesting happening on the Rubygems Twitter/X profile, so I can't tell which of the following actions would be appropriate:

• Drop Twitter/X without replacement.
• Drop Twitter/X in favor of Mastodon – there's already a (not very active) profile there on https://ruby.social/@rubygems

What do you think?

Hello @svoop and thanks for the report. I do agree the fact link doesn't show content to anyone is actually problem. Until now I had no idea about the google group as well. I think we can provide better set of links including https://blog.rubygems.org/. I'll check what's status of https://ruby.social/@rubygems as well.

Seems, this has been changed at some point, thanks @simi !!
