koalie aloha
#
koalie I created https://mastodon.social/@w3c today and wondered if the Social Web WG has an opinion on Mastodon -- https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon
#
koalie e.g. is this something the W3C comm team should look into as a complement to Twitter, or avoid entirely?
#
ben_thatmustbeme Hi koalie, i'm not sure who runs the w3c twitter account or how that organizational structure runs
#
ben_thatmustbeme as for 'opinion on mastodon' i don't know that there is any opinion of any social network system other than, hey, you should join the community group
#
ben_thatmustbeme the more groups we get to the table, the better
#
koalie hi ben_thatmustbeme
#
koalie the marcomm team runs the W3C twitter account
#
koalie most of it is automated via ifttt
#
ben_thatmustbeme i figured it was likely automated

ben_thatmustbeme koalie: have you joined the CG? https://www.w3.org/community/swicg/
#
koalie ben_thatmustbeme, nope
#
koalie I don't intend to, sorry
#
ben_thatmustbeme thats fine, mind if i ask why not? I'm curious to hear what people think / expect from it
#
koalie ben_thatmustbeme, I don't have enough spare time to warrant joining a group that isn't critical to my day to day work
#
ben_thatmustbeme ah, yeah, i totally understand that

#
KjetilK hmmm, tried to join the CG, but something went wrong in the affiliation handling... I just deleted my affiliation, but it still shows up on the join page
#
KjetilK I guess it is just stale cache data, so I'll try again $later
