Hello Stefan,

I think this would be okay, yeah. We are staunch supporters of open social=

media platforms in general, and the Fediverse in particular. We often remin=
d/
coax people who follow us on proprietary platforms to change over to free=20
ones.

We will check the links you have sent us and check with the team in charge =
of=20
social media.

Will let you know shortly.

Cheers

Paul
