Sorry for the late response. We could use again the same social network that identi.ca used in the past (status.net, now renamed gnu social). This is the path is that the FSF is following, and we can use it again to push post to Twitter ( the FSF is doing that). https://status.fsf.org/ http://gnu.io/social/ I think the federated nature of these free social network makes hard to compete with centralized commercial services like twitter. It means that you can follow/be followed by people with accounts in other instances using the same social network, even by people from other networks using a bridge plugin. We can study this option with the help of the sysadmin in order to know if this makes sense and if we can maintain this service.
