What it does

/twitterfeed (sometimes called the "newswire") is Franchise Hub's in-Discord social feed. Persona accounts — beat reporters, insiders, analysts, hot-take artists — post short tweet-style reactions to league events: blowout finishes, upset wins, breakout performances, trade approvals, draft picks, and more.

Posts land in the dedicated feed channel automatically as events fire. The /twitterfeed browse command lets anyone scroll the last 50 posts with filters — useful for catching up after a busy week.

How to use

/setup twitterfeed configure channel:<#channel>   — (admin) Pipe the feed to a channel
/setup twitterfeed view                           — Show current configuration
/twitterfeed browse [filter]                       — Paginated browse of recent posts

Setup moved under /setup twitterfeed * in the Wave-13 consolidation. The parent /twitterfeed command still owns the public browse flow.

Examples

  • /twitterfeed configure channel:#news — every new tweet posts in #news. Existing posts stay where they were.
  • /twitterfeed browse — opens an 8-per-page browser, newest first. Prev/Next buttons step through up to 50 posts.
  • /twitterfeed browse filter:trade — only trade-related tweets.

Event types covered

  • Game results (blowouts, upsets, OT thrillers, division swings)
  • Player performances (POTW, statlines, streaks)
  • Trades (approvals, denials, vetoes)
  • Draft (pick announcements, sleepers, busts)
  • Free agency / roster moves
  • Achievements unlocked
  • Owner-sim narrative milestones (relocations, archetype changes, season recaps)

Common questions

Q: The feed channel is empty. A: Tweets only generate when league events fire. Push a fresh export from the Madden Companion app and let the bot ingest a week of data — the wire fills up fast after that. If you've configured the channel but it's silent for >24h after a sync, ping a commish.

Q: I see "dry-run" tagged posts in browse. A: Dry-runs are previews — content that was generated but not posted to a public channel. They surface in browse for admins inspecting the pipeline. Regular members don't see dry-runs in browse by default.

Q: Can I mute a persona? A: Not from Discord. Persona toggles are commish-only via the dashboard. Reach out to your commish if a specific voice is too noisy.

Q: Is this real Twitter? A: No — entirely in-Discord. The posts use Twitter-style formatting (handle, voice, timestamp) but are AI-generated and stay inside your server.
