In #415, we discussed restructuring the Community page, which has a long and growing list of contact/communication channels.

Ultimately we settled on giving the different options according to type, and preferring the FLOSS options in each of the channels, see

This would require some larger edits to the page than we did so far

We've been having previous discussions of, let's call it, informal or semiformal support of SM channels. This is for example how the SimpleX group came to exist, one user/contributor proposed to create one and lead it and it was created without much validation or support from a broader community.

We also have some accounts that are acting more as a place holder, e.g. TikTok.

Then we have cases when we've been purposely giving more space to FOSS like SM like in the About page of the app.

IMO, we should therefor discuss a Social Media presence strategy that is coherent with maintenance time cost and project values, etc.
