I was talking to Valorie about Mastodon not being listed at kubuntu.org and she suggested it might be best for me to help out with Masto since I am such an active Mastodon user. I'd be glad to help, for sure, but I think one thing that would make it best for me to be responsive to mentions and such is to actually have notifications. Of course, only one email can be associated with the account, but we have more than one person helping, so how do we solve this?
The idea I talked to Valorie about and would like to suggest is setting up a mailing list. This is great because users can tune in or tune out as much as they want depending on their needs. They do need to be private, though. Unfortunately, that excludes Launchpad. It's likely that having a list more for the purposes of redirecting mail than for having a more functional purpose is going to be enough to justify a lists on Ubuntu and/or KDE's resources. That said, here's my idea: use lists.riseup.net. This is a resource mainly for activists (to which Firefox recently contributed a bunch of money) and that subsequently works really hard on using open source software and ensuring privacy and security. This is why the likes of Whisper Systems (read: Signal), OpenKeychain, the Library Freedom Project, etc., all use it. They use Sympa for software. Sympa has message tags (kind of like topics) that users can subscribe to. It should be automatic. That said, we could have one email, say, [email protected], with topics for Mastodon, Twitter, etc. and people could subscribe only to those segments of the list they want. I thought ti would be a good idea to run this past the Council and see what they think. So… thoughs? -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-council Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-council More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
