In my opinion, we've been at odds with social media because...
1. social media contributions are rarely the kinds of contributions we desire and; 2. social media websites often operate in ways that conflict with our values and; 3. social media behaviors are not often seen has helpful to our mission.
I've not yet heard a persuasive idea about how we can integrate with, or become more similar to, social media sites that overcomes these issues. But I do intend to remain open minded.

Currently our approach on social media is that "Social media websites aren't useful for spreading news and reaching out to potential users and contributors." [1]
Actually, this seems like vandalism. See [5] for (what I believe to be) the original content.
Why would we have dozens of social media accounts if we thought they are useless?
