So the consensus seems to be that it will be good to maintain our presence where it makes sense and where it looks like we have sufficient resources to maintain content. So for now I would move forward with an account on Mastodon. If you manage to get access to the account that is on Facebook, that will be good. We will see how it goes. For Mastodon, I intend to create an account on floss.social, as that seems to be an appropriate place for our focus. So far I haven't considered creating our own instance of Mastodon server. If it turns out that it makes sense to set up our own instance, we can deal with that afterwards. Cheers -- Slávek
