Thanks Anne :) On another side note, there has not been a (maybe I missed) good "no" vote message I was looking for.
A good quality "no" message could something like this in my opinion (and this is just one of many possibilities): "Thanks for invitation but no I would not like to use social media apps other than IRC. General social media apps are open to a more variety of people than in IRC channels and there are personalities or social characters that I found myself just cannot cope with. Moreover social media apps demands instant response, or at least has the expectation for one, in its nature and it would make me feel pressured all the time. So no thank you I would not use social media in any form, however if you do have good technical questions from the social apps, please feel free to relay to me and I'm glad to help when I have the bandwidth" On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 7:06 AM Anne Bertucio <a...@openstack.org> wrote: > I though I remember someone (annabelleB?) saying there were known issues > (technical or otherwise) regarding the official channels spun up by the > Foundation. > > > Two separate issues that perhaps got mashed together :) > > Unofficial WeChat channels are limited to ~500 participants and are > invite-only.
