>From an M&P perspective I'd strongly prefer official handles like announce, infra, cloudstack, president, etc. and *not* jzb, rubys, and so forth. People are still figuring out the world of ActivityPub/Fediverse, etc. but I the moderation and policy problems become exponentially more difficult if we're providing a platform for individual voices vs. simply providing a platform for "if you want to follow the official social channel of CloudStack on ActivityPub, this is how you know it's real and can feel confident in following it" + "here's an easy way to find all the ASF projects on a social platform." Anybody who wants a presence on the fediverse as themselves can find one easily enough - it's not necessary for us to provide that service to members the same way it's necessary/desirable to provide email addresses.
