Thanks for proposing this Holden.

Airflow uses fosstodon (@airf...@fosstodon.org) but that's the only ASF 
project on Mastodon I'm aware of. It might be a good starting point for 
us as well, and it is not hard to permanently move an account to a new 
server in the future.


It might be worthwhile to reach out to the ASF and see if there is 
enough interest and some resources to spare to set up a dedicated instance.

As to the # of devs it's hard to say since:

2) Figuring out if an account is a dev or not is hard

But, for example,

There seems to be roughly an aggregate 6 million users (
https://observablehq.com/@simonw/mastodon-users-and-statuses-over-time 
 ), 
which seems to be about only ~1% of Twitters size.

Nova's (large K8s focused I believe) has ~29k, tech.lgbt has
~6k, The BSD mastodon has ~1k ( https://bsd.network/about
 )

It's hard to say, but I've noticed a larger number of my tech
affiliated friends moving to Mastodon (personally I now do both).

I agree that there is probably a majority still on twitter, but it would be
a syndication (e.g. we'd keep both).

As to the # of devs it's hard to say since:
1) It's a federated service
2) Figuring out if an account is a dev or not is hard

But, for example,

There seems to be roughly an aggregate 6 million users (
https://observablehq.com/@simonw/mastodon-users-and-statuses-over-time ),
which seems to be about only ~1% of Twitters size.

Nova's (large K8s focused I believe) has ~29k, tech.lgbt has ~6k, The BSD
mastodon has ~1k ( https://bsd.network/about )

It's hard to say, but I've noticed a larger number of my tech affiliated
friends moving to Mastodon (personally I now do both).
