Kubuntu social media accounts - help needed

Hi folks,

We have a social media presence on Mastodon again: https://mastodon.technology/@Kubuntu . If you are on mastodon, please follow us and boost our toots! If you aren't, you might try it out. It is a different experience than twitter; much more friendly. That said, we have a twitter account too: https://twitter.com/Kubuntu. Again, follows and retweets are appreciated. There are two Facebook accounts, one withw an unknown owner. If you like and use facebook, we really could use some help there, in particular for people who persist in asking user support questions there. Very few of the developers, including me, like or use FB much. We have a G+ community going as well, which at last look was fairly healthy. That is going away however, as Google shuts it down.


Finally, we have the wonderful Kubuntuforums: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/ . The Ubuntu forums have gotten rather useless for Kubuntu (IMO) and the KDE forums are great for KDE software, but not so much for Kubuntu issuses. Kubuntuforums are the place to go besides the #kubuntu IRC channel and the Kubuntu-user list for in-depth user help.


Now that we have a new mastodon, it's looking rather bare and drafty. I could load in the same header image we have on Kubuntu.org and the Kubuntu IRC, but really, all should be updated to Cosmic. We finally have an Ubuntu-approved image [1], and it would be cool to have the latest Plasma wallpaper plus that rather than the Bionic image we have.

Note the second paragraph, first sentence. Gotta love the love!

Humm ,,,I recognize the name "Valorie" , she and "Mamarok" (if I got that right) have helped me before on Amarok issues.

I will check out Mastodon and see if I can help and on FB

I do owe the community some kind of assistance for all the help I have received through the years , though it may be limited due to my time constraints (my wife is disabled and needs my attention)
that said I can make an account and pop in from time to time

History apart, the same can be said for other sites if people who can help aren't there
