Dear all, At the last RIPE Meeting, I presented at the RIPE Community Plenary on Mastodon, asking if the RIPE NCC should run a server that would be open to community members. The presentation is at: https://ripe87.ripe.net/archives/video/1251/
The feedback we got was that this was not something we should do, or at least not right away. The main concerns were about the work involved and the difficulties in moderating a public server. Given this feedback, and considering the costs and maintenance required from our technical staff, we will not provide a server this year. However, there were also suggestions that we should dip our toe in the water. So we have started a RIPE NCC account on Mastodon that community members can follow. We hope to connect with people and also learn more about the Mastodon ecosystem. We can then revisit this question at a later date once we are familiar with the platform and we can better assess whether there is appetite for us to provide a server for the community. If you’re already on Mastodon, you can follow us at: https://mastodon.social/@ripencc. See you there!
