XSF Communications Team - 2021-07-12

wurstsalat, SouL, jcbrand: Hi guys, do we have incentives to keep the XSF Facebook account running? It is unmaintained (right?) and also not the platform most are interested in here (right?). On the other side its where we would like to see more attention "on the other side". What do you think?

I think we should link this in the newsletter, what do you think?

emus (XSF Com. Team): yup

Facebook sucks and I'm happy to not support them

What kind of person decides to use XMPP based on a Facebook page?

I don't have any incentives in mind

🤷‍♂️ we link to it in every newsletter, but I dont know who put it there nor created it?

> Facebook sucks and I'm happy to not support them 👍

I checked for other standards orgs for comparison, such as IETF. they have a page, but it looks abandoned (last post from two years ago)..

emus (XSF Com. Team), I'm just taking care of Twitter and LinkedIn and I don´t even have access to Facebook so... I think it is always good to be everywhere but honestly I don't know if we would find someone that would like to work on that Facebook account.

Ok, I would recommend to close it if noone refers to this from OUR side, which is a minimum. I am also on Seves point communicate in networks which is out of our userbase. however we need someone willing to do it. In this manner I would recommend (also to board) to close it.

I have no power to close it though, and don't know how can do that...

No worries, I can find out and first I would like to tell board
