# Twitter Guidelines
2+
3+
The project runs the Twitter account [@rustlang](https://twitter.com/rustlang).
4+
The account is handled by a small team of volunteers.
5+
6+
The account will mostly tweet links to the Rust blog and Rust Insiders blog.
7+
Additionally it will retweet:
8+
9+
* links to blog posts about Rust, retweeting the original author if possible,
10+
* questions about Rust, so all followers can help,
11+
* Meetup or conference announcements,
12+
* anything else relevant.
13+
14+
The Direct Messages are open to everyone.
15+
If someone wants something retweeted, they should send the tweet via DM.
16+
The vast majority of these things should be retweeted, keeping it to the above rules.
17+
Requests of an author via DM or Tweet to not retweet something will be honored.
18+
19+
Additionally account handlers may look through the [#rustlang](https://twitter.com/hashtag/rustlang?src=hashtag_click) hashtag for noteworthy content.
20+
21+
The account will only follow a small number of Project-owned/related Twitter accounts.
22+
At the time of writing (February 2022) this is only [@cratesiostatus](https://twitter.com/cratesiostatus) and [@rust_foundation](https://twitter.com/rust_foundation).
