Thanks Aleix and Albert for your feedback.

Yeah... So maybe just post about social media here. As I said, social media is 
something promo is in charge of.

Talking of which both 

https://gnusocial.de/kdeplanet

and 

https://gnusocial.de/kdecommunity

in the 

https://community.kde.org/Promo/People/social_media#GNU_Social_.
28former_StatusNet.29

section are dead links. I am guessing because the have been migrated to 
Mastodon as described earlier in this thread.

We still don't know who is managing them, right? Anybody?

http://sn.1w6.org/group/kde

is alive, the last post being from 21 days ago. However, I am not sure how 
popular that network is. The account has been open since 2013 and has only 
managed to attract 30 followers. Meanwhile, the Mastodon account has attracted 
nearly 100 in just a couple of days.

Does anybody know who is in charge of the http://sn.1w6.org/ account? 

As an afterthought, maybe we should have a Mastodon account for Akademy, like 
we have in Twitter? Would this make sense to you?

Cheers

Paul
