I am starting to freak up about #TwitterDown #RIPTwitter

Africa policy bubbles are not moving to #Mastodon (and I am yet to find any Africa-based servers). I don't want to use Meta products. LinkedIn is just boring.

Looking for ideas on how post-Twitter global communication can look like (beyond EU/US).

@ahtzirigonzalez #linkedin may be boring but at least it's up and running so you can post.
And of course the many web based forums and mail lists that don't throttle discourse at 280 or 500 characters.

@PatrickOBeirne a boost for the old newsletter?

@ahtzirigonzalez It's been a long time since I used them (in a previous academic life) so I'm out of date. I googled "Africa Policy" plus keywords like "listserv" , "mail list", "discussion forum", etc and got a mixture of old (2004!) results and recentish (2016). It's best to see what the people whom you want to keep up with are using.
