I've been reading this account for a couple years now, and always click through to the full news posts! This is the primary place I see OTW news, and I'd be a bit bummed to not have it. (I rarely, if ever, use Twitter, though I do sometimes spot a post on Tumblr.) That being said, if it's an issue of balancing volunteer workload most effectively, I'd be willing to work with the RSS feed option - I'd certainly prefer that slight inconvenience to overloaded volunteers. I think Dreamwidth is a valuable place for the OTW to have a presence, but I also understand it's not necessarily where the bulk of interested readers are.
