Is there anyway we can get some bots to pull in Twitter posts from some of the key NHL rumor mongers? I don’t venture into the twitterverse but I like to keep up to date with talk around the league.

I feel like a bit aggregator could bring in more liveliness to this community. Not enough things to talk about on our own.

I agree we need more content (ahl final is tonight by the way - someone should start a discussion thread). But please can we stop relying on Twitter?

Since Elon did his thing over there, it seems like Reddit was using Twitter links even more than before. It would be good to support another service, if one exists.

The nhl insiders all use Twitter. That’s why it was used on Reddit so much. Maybe if another website gathers all of the Twitter info and restates the info (more than likely hours to days later), a bot could aggregate that. But until the majority of information isn’t coming from Twitter, that’s what we’re stuck with.

There are quite a few mirror bots on Mastodon that just mirror tweets from the same named accounts. Official NHL, most of the teams' official accounts, etc. It's just twitter's content but you're posting links to fediverse content rather than contributing directly to twitter's traffic.
