I spent last weekend building a vaccine notification service on Twitter (twitter.com/longislandvax). It tweets out available Long Island vaccine appointments from CVS, Rite-Aid, and NYS vaccination sites, and it's the first account of its kind. I built it because I had trouble finding local appointments for my parents, and I made it public because I thought it would benefit the community. There are already services like vaccinefinder.org that are directories for vaccine locations, but they don't update in real time.
Esskeetit, it hasn't been garnering much attention. I suspect it is because you can't find my account from searches; you have to manually visit twitter.com/longislandvax to find the account. I've contacted Twitter but have only received one automated response telling me that I'm probably violating Twitter rules. The only thing I could be doing wrong is spamming, but plenty other bots like @turbovax and @nyvaccine are doing the same thing and are still in search results.
Has anyone here had a similar experience or have advice on how to navigate the situation? Thank you.
