[BLU/Officers] IRC ? Mastodon ?

[John Abreau]

Yes, the channel #blu on libera is the one I use to announce when each

As for fediverse or mastodon or whatever name it may use in the future,
we'd need a volunteer committed to taking care of moderation, since you
assert it entails a moderation burden.
