Describe the solution you'd like
To be able to post in a channel (or private group), and have it automatically post to social network
and the reverse,
To post on a social network, and have it appear in a dedicated channel (or private group)
Why this is a good idea?
We use rocket.chat and social networks, as a means to communicate with our community. But Manually Double/Tripple/Quadruple posting content, across multiple platforms is highly inefficient.
To have an announcement channel, that automatically posted out to social media, and a social media channel that kept the community updated on social media posts by automatically reposting them in a dedicated rocket chat channel, would greatly bolster community awareness, and save time.
This is also aligns with the IndieWebCamp's POSSE approach of Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to 3rd party services with permashortlinks back to the original on your site. This helps BREAK the monopoly of control the big networks have over your community.
All the existing API's for the mainstream social networks make this possible, we just have to tap into it
