Hi Slávek,
You might want to release my post on 12/09/22 09:41:34 from moderator
jail, AFAICT it never made it to the list for anyone to see.
The key word is “want” not “should.” I also wrote:
Hi all,
thanks to everyone for the responses and to Michael for correcting me - I
misread and misunderstood.
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.
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.
Cheers

The opinion from Michael that we should enter
"all" social networks
seems quite unrealistic.
Yes it would be, but your summation above is incorrect, this is what I
wrote.

Does it
seem like a good idea for us to have an official
communication channel for our project on [social media]? What is
your opinion on this?
If we want more users of TDE, then yes.
some time ago I was thinking about whether we
want to become an
active member of social networks with our project.
If yes above, then we would want to be on all the social media
platforms. Even the ones we disagree with. As Bill indicated, they
are not mutual exclusive. That said, members time and ideological
alignment will be the ultimate factor in which ones we stay active on. To me, I think we’re at the stage of asking do we
have any volunteers
to be an admin and moderators for any of the above? My best guess is
we’d need at least two people per platform to keep it ‘alive.’
Yes, you would have to be an ‘owner’ class member of every social media
account (e.g. to solve the Dan/Facebook issue), but only those platforms
that have volunteers would be created. When/If platforms lose their
volunteers, then a simple “posting suspended until volunteers are again
available” message suffices to maintain its existence.
You personally would never have to post to any social media except for
the one you deem the ‘original source’ account. (If Mastodon is it,
then you’re completely welcome to use tde-mirror-01.inet-design.com for
Mastodon’s server needs.) All volunteers are then able to cross post
content from the ‘original source’ account to the platform they are
managing.
Closing thoughts

Is the goal of joining social media not to "make us visible?" Facebook,
YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, et al., are just tools. No one is
asking anyone to use, or run an account on, any platform they don’t want
to, so why the {snipped to next post because quite frankly it’s off
topic}
Best Regards All,

Personal opinion (e.g. no research to back it up), getting included in
polls for, “What's your favourite desktop?” is most likely a far
better use of the project’s time. Example:
