If you are actively engaging with Stack Overflow and Server Fault,
then I don't have a problem with keeping those links and I can see
the value considering the significant number of libvirt-related
questions that are asked on those sites. Massive kudos for taking the
time, by the way! :)

Since neither of those facts seems to apply to Twitter, I'd rather
see the link gone. So

with the first part of the commit message removed, and maybe a
mention of the fact that nobody is monitoring the hashtag added for
good measure.
