If you are looking for a more open-themed conversational social media
experience, we would recommend looking at https://instances.social/ for
a more suitable entrance to the fediverse.

It's pretty easy to get going, the hardest part is picking an instance
probably. https://floss.social is one I found that seems primarily
focused on FLOSS, which might be a good candidate. Doesn't seem to be
any ubuntu-centric ones though.
Running a Mastodon server would be pretty cool too, but would
necessitate a bit more involvement and considering how to handle who
gets accounts, etc. Most Mastodon instances run on Ubuntu (including
mine!) so it'd be highly appropriate, but getting everyone in the
group sold on the concept and interested in such a thing to make it
worth the server cost and admin labor would be the biggest issue I
think :)
Pretty much all of identi.ca <http://identi.ca>'s momentum went into
Mastodon, and is picking up way more steam than identi.ca
<http://identi.ca> ever did, especially with its focus on fixing a lot
of the social problems inherent to platforms like twitter and facebook.
I'm personally getting rather passionate about it because it's the
first chance I've seen for a break away from closed, corporate
networks that subsist off of data mining and, quite literally, misery,
into something that is run by individuals and communities for each
others' mutual benefit. I used to be extremely active on Twitter but
did not realize just how bad and unhealthy it was for me until I got
away from it by participating in a... let's call it a much healthier
take on the microblogging concept, that isn't 97% anger and hate speech.

I'm working with Charlie to get him access to some of our other social
media accounts. Maybe you could work with him to create a Mastodon
account for the team? We had an identi.ca <http://identi.ca>
account long ago, but it
fizzled out when the rest of that service did.

mastodon would probably be a good idea, considering it's probably
the most promising FLOSS social media project at the moment. I've
been really down on that our only social media options are
corporate, but there's been a huge uptick in Mastodon usage in the
last few months and it's been lively and active to the point where
I don't even care about Twitter anymore, which I used to live on.
