[OSGeo-Discuss] Is OSGeo presence on ${one-letter-asocial-media} still desirable?

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello,

I am/was responsible for x. I am  not posting there anymore and 
focussing on fediverse & linked in.

As Jody said it is worth keeping account to avoid someone else taking 
the OSGeo handle.  We redirect to fosstodon on the account.

If any other action makes sense we should discuss it in the marketing 
team and with the board on one of the next board meetings

Same could be for @foss4g or @foss4ge
