Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, et al., are just tools.
So the consensus seems to be that it will be good to maintain our presence where it makes sense and where it looks like we have sufficient resources to maintain content. So for now I would move forward with an account on Mastodon. If you manage to get access to the account that is on Facebook, that will be good. We will see how it goes.
I'm not sure who 'you' is, but if someone does get access to the existing Facebook account, or even creates a new one, do notify me. I’ll go see if I can dig up a way to setup auto-crossposting from Mastodon to Facebook. Same with any other social media the group wants to use.
For Mastodon, I intend to create an account on floss.social, as that seems to be an appropriate place for our focus. So far I haven't considered creating our own instance of Mastodon server. If it turns out that it makes sense to set up our own instance, we can deal with that afterwards.
That sound like the best option. The [little] bit I’ve read says transferring your Mastodon ‘account?’ from one instance to another is doable, easy-ish, and doesn’t lose any data.
Thanks Slávek for taking the time to expand TDE’s presence!
Best, Michael
