While I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment of Twitter
as a platform...
the link points to the 'libvirt'
hashtag which never gained traction or contained useful information.
... I'd prefer sticking with just the more objectively measurable
rationale :)

Honestly I think that *all of these* should go.
Twitter is the one where the number of useful posts is just so low
that it's not worth bothering, but in general having these links in
the website's footer might give people the expectation that libvirt
developers are actively participating in those communities and
offering support through them, which AFAIK is simply not the case.
A link to https://planet.virt-tools.org/ might fit into this section,
but that's about it in my opinion.
