Bug ID	781238
Summary	investigate possibility of Mastodon instance
Classification	Infrastructure
Product	sysadmin
Version	unspecified
OS	Linux
Status	NEW
Severity	normal
Priority	Normal
Component	Blue Sky
Assignee	sysadmin-maint@gnome.bugs

GNOME version	---

Mastodon seems to be taking off the last week or two within the Linux
community, and it might be interesting to join the herd. (See mastodon.social).
It's built on GNUsocial federation API and is Free Software.

Should we choose to move forward with this, I can donate gnome.social to the
Foundation. I assume this would be limited to Foundation members, at least for
now.

Having @user@gnome.social is also some nice free advertising for GNOME.

Since the servers, like email, can have access to user data in cleartext, a
certain level of trust is necessary.
