I'm on another appropriate-for-me-but-probably-not-appropriate-for-bitfolk server (kolektiva.social).  I'd probably suggest the main mastodon.social instance, since the idea is that it is very generic and as independent-as-possible of bitfolk infrastructure to make it useful in case of outage, etc.  There are also tech-focused instances like fosstodon.org, infosec.exchange (if there's a high severity CVE that might affect bitfolk, it would probably be discussed there), etc.  But they all make a more specific statement about community.

Hi,

Continued use of Twitter has become untenable so I will move
"bitfolk" on Twitter to a Fediverse ("Mastodon") instance. 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@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.
