    I signed up to that a few days ago, but have no friends on it. There's a
    few platforms like that GNU social, and some others.

    I'm administering a Nextcloud instance and a couple of Owncloud instances (scheduled to upgrade to Nextcloud soon, when I move their hosts to CentOS 7. Yes, I know it can be done with 6, if not officially, but there's more work involved keeping it updated, etc.) Both offer federated cloud ID's and Nextcloud has the Social app, which interoperate with Mastodon and other social
    networks that support the ActivityPub protocol. Gnu social is supposed to be getting there, iirc. Pretty sure most of the decentralized social media platforms will eventually get there, too. eg. Matrix.org (riot.im), etc.

    I've played a bit with Mastadon, but without anyone else to talk to on it testing it out is hard. Maybe we should set up a BBS sysops/users presence
    on M?

    Been thinking about setting up a Mastodon and/or matrix.org server, but Nextcloud does offer the Social app, AND something called Circles, which are like local groups, but distributed, federated, etc. Anyone wants to set one up on any Nextcloud server they can, and toot and share with circle members on other servers. Be sure to post the details on your board or in an echo so everyone that wants can join in.

    Nextcloud has a self-registration app, too, so just find an instance, log
    in, and let the adminstrator help you set it up.

    Personally, I'd rather see a robust BBS community using BBS'es :-) But it may help with security, privacy, control of your data, etc. if that's needed. Sometimes helpful to be able to "unshare", and so on.

    FWIW,
