Yeah, that was a pick I made for an Official Ubuntu CA kind of account. If you want to open a personal account instances.social is a great way to find someplace to sign up (maybe you'll end up on my instance ;) ) that's your speed. On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 7:36 PM jim wrote: > > If you are

If you are looking for a more open-themed conversational social media experience, we would recommend looking at https://instances.social/ for a more suitable entrance to the fediverse. On 10/06/2018 01:31 AM, Anna wrote: It's pretty easy to get going, the hardest part is picking an instance

It's pretty easy to get going, the hardest part is picking an instance probably. https://floss.social is one I found that seems primarily focused on FLOSS, which might be a good candidate. Doesn't seem to be any ubuntu-centric ones though. Running a Mastodon server would be pretty cool too, but

I'm working with Charlie to get him access to some of our other social media accounts. Maybe you could work with him to create a Mastodon account for the team? We had an identi.ca account long ago, but it fizzled out when the rest of that service did. On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 5:10 PM Anna wrote: >

Failing a mastodon server, at least having a presence on mastodon would probably be a good idea, considering it's probably the most promising FLOSS social media project at the moment. I've been really down on that our only social media options are corporate, but there's been a huge uptick in
