Mastodon account for this project #496

Closed linux-lukas closed 2 years ago

Would a Mastodon account for this project be possible?

Christovis commented 2 years ago

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion! What would the advantages be? In what way would it improve the communication channels we have through the bigbang mailing list and Gitter?

npdoty commented 2 years ago

It sounds like a fun idea to me, but I'm not sure whether we would use it much. It could make sense to use social media for announcements of new releases, events/hackathons, or sharing of uses of bigbang or related work. But I suspect that we wouldn't have a lot of followers and having someone in charge of updates might be more confusing than just having individuals post to their own accounts when they see something relevant.

As this suggestion is not relevant for the development of Bigbang right now, I will close this issue.
