The current proposal is to figure out what we want to achieve with an Instagram 
account. What we are looking for is to answer the question of how (or if) it 
helps progress towards achieving any of Promo's long term goals (https://
community.kde.org/Promo%27s_Long_Term_Goals). It may be that Instagram is a 
very useful tool for that or not useful at all. At this stage we don't know.

Once we have figured that out, and if the outcome is in favour of starting an 
Instagram feed, we have to figure out a strategy. We need to work out who we 
want to reach, what we are going to show them and to what ends, that is, what 
we want followers to do given the information we show them.

We can probably work a lot of this out by looking at what other similar 
projects do and whether they are successful.

Like that, the effort of maintaining another social media account, one which is 
also a bit different from what we currently have,that will therefore require 
slightly different kind of posts than, say, Twitter, Mastodon, Facebook and 
Diaspora*, will be compensated by the success in... I don't know... 
encouraging more people to use Plasma and/or KDE applications, drafting more 
contributors, or whatever.

It will also help us develop a solid criteria for discriminating between what 
is a useful platform for Promo's goals and what isn't. This is a valuable 
exercise.

Cheers

Paul
