We have yesterday applied to https://hub.fosstodon.org/ for an account in Apache Airflow. And I encourage others who are interested to make their own choice and do the same for their PMC. My personal opinion is that such a discussion makes very little sense if the goal is "let's get a centrally ma

Yes, normally it is a lot of work for moderating. Hence my proposal to limit it to (initially) only projects (pmc). By doing that I thought to eliminate the need for additional moderation. Niels On Mon, 7 Nov 2022, 18:00 Peter Kovacs, wrote: > Hi Niels > > Am 07.11.22 um 12:58 schrieb Niels Ba

Hi, Given the recent events around twitter I had this crazy idea: What if the ASF would run their own Mastodon instance under the apache.org domain? Primarily this would make it possible for all projects to have a clean account that can be used for project announcements (i.e. usable by PMCs ?) I
