Hello.
I submitted this idea to the marketing team some time ago [1]
What do you think to have a Fedora presence on the Fediverse?
I'm not an expert, but it is now a mature technology, and no more an
hype. Many people started using Mastodon, in many cases with the intent
to leave the mainstream social medias.
I have not statistical data, but, looking around, a lot of these people
are concerned about privacy, freedom and digital rights, they are free
software supporters, and they are critical versus the overwhelm power
of the big giants of the internet.
There were some toughts about running a Fedora instance [2], but maybe
it is not useful, it whould be an high energy expenditure; however this
is not the point of this mail.
What I'm talking about is a profile on the fediverse.
We are on twitter, we are on facebook, youtube, instagram. Why not on a
social network that is powered by an open source software, and where
there are many free software supporters?
Gnome is there
https://floss.social/@gnome
Fosdem is there
https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem
Opensuse is there
https://fosstodon.org/@opensuse
Gentoo
https://fosstodon.org/@gentoo
Ubuntu (that runs his own instance)
https://ubuntu.social/@ubuntu
KDE
https://mastodon.technology/@kde
And many other FOSS projects and communities.
What do you think?
