I agree that we need and I would even say we must communicate with people in general and not only those who are already into Free Software. To me, the most important aim for SFD is to reach more and more people, and more the people who have no idea about Software Freedom. So, my request for having account on FLOSS social media like Mastodon is not to delete Twitter and Facebook accounts, but use them smartly and actively alongside Mastodon.

These are my suggestions:

  1. There should be some activity on current social media (facebook, twitter) to inform people about the SFD2020.
  2. An account be made on Mastodon to keep connection with those who opt to only be on FLOSS social media.
  3. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, many people don't have idea how to celebrate SFD. We can make a proposal and offer it as an optional approach towards conducting SFD 2020. For this, we might be able to get some support from some Jitsi / Big‌BlueButton instances for having free online sessions for those events registered on SFD website.
