As much as I'd love Friendica or Hubzilla extra features, they sometimes catch weird bugs that may prevent messages reaching Mastodon - which is the biggest source of our target audience, as of today. Gitch-soc allows long posts (up to 10.000), more pall variants (I think?), bookmarks - it's more flexible than Mastodon and ensures solid Mastodon interoperability. + +4. Strypey initially said such an account may be useful for DM-ing Fedi developers and having some "official" private conversations ("officially representing fediverse.party"). I think it's OK (?) but since several people will have access to the account we should may be decide that if someone starts a DM thread about some Fediverse/Party question, others will read it but won't answer in the thread unless they are the one who initiated it. Or else our correspondents may be a bit confused who they're talking to. Such DMs also require a "by @nickname" signature at the end, I think, not to be anonymous for the correspondent. \ No newline at end of file
