[bitfolk] Re: BitFolk's Twitter account will move to Fediverse

I'm on historians.social (@RPBook@historians.social if anyone wants to follow me) but that instance is very much for people working in or interested in history, so not really suitable for Bitfolk :) I think you're right not to open up your instance to registrations. Historians.social have less than 1,000 active users, but they field three or four reports a week, and suspend two or three users.

The question is which one? The current Twitter account doesn't see much use but it's probably of most use for posting about current incidents and maintenance work. Therefore it needs to work even if BitFolk is not working. So it should not run on an instance that's inside BitFolk infrastructure. I can run an instance outside of BitFolk infrastructure but I don't think the cost will be worth it vs the limited use. Perhaps it is best to just put it on an instance that is already in mainstream use? If you are currently active on the Fediverse, could you let me know which instance you use? Feel free to let me know your full address if you'd like me/others to follow you. 😀 My personal account is grifferz(a)social.bitfolk.com. ¹ Assuming I get some replies to this, I'll probably put a bitfolk one on some instance that you already use. I'll let you know once that happens. They have RSS feeds so even those who don't use the Fediverse would be able to keep track of posts there. Cheers, Andy ¹ This is a Mastodon instance running at bitfolk but I don't have any intention of opening this to other users, as I don't think I'm prepared for the workload of managing such a user community. _______________________________________________ BitFolk Users mailing list &lt;users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt; &lt;users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt; You're subscribed as &lt;robin(a)phillipsuk.org&gt; &lt;robin(a)phillipsuk.org&gt; Unsubscribe: <https://mailman.bitfolk.com/mailman/postorius/lists/users.mailman.bitfolk.com/> <https://mailman.bitfolk.com/mailman/postorius/lists/users.mailman.bitfolk.com/> or send an email to &lt;users-leave(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt; &lt;users-leave(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt; -- *Did this email go to spam? <https://phillipsuk.org/whitelist.html> * _______________________________________________ BitFolk Users mailing list &lt;users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt; You're subscribed as &lt;keithwilliamsnp(a)gmail.com&gt; Unsubscribe: < https://mailman.bitfolk.com/mailman/postorius/lists/users.mailman.bitfolk.c… or send an email to &lt;users-leave(a)mailman.bitfolk.com&gt;
