this plan was frozen
 first by the future OpenPGP standards (see gnupg-devel@ from the 26th on).
 secondly by me being unable to work for several weeks

I'm picking it up again and assume ongoing interest.

=46ound more:
 * can take the potential load (https://twitter.com/gnupg as 20k followers)
 * (optional) Tor network access
 * German any English?

The latter is a question if we should make two account, one for Englisch an=
d=20
one for German. There are quite a lot of German speaking Gpg4win and GnuPG=
=20
users, it probably is the second largest group after English.

Thanks again for the server suggestions, my current ranking is:
  1. https://mstdn.social 35k account
     Has everything, strong point: Tor access.
     Weak point: no advertising
     I've asked, and it is okay to write about professional
     Free Software products as long as it does not flood the public timelin=
e.
   =20
  2. infosec.exchange 18k
     Servers rented in Germany, Responsible Person in the US. No Tor.
     No FS preferance.
     Strong point: Infosec community (and moderators from that topic)

  3. fosstodon.org 16k
     No Tor.
     weak point: English post only.
   =20
All are suitable servers and we could migrate of course.
Maybe I'm looking for a server which is a little bit smaller as a forth=20
alternative. (I've gave https://pleroma.social servers a brief look, but I=
=20
haven't found a good match. ;) )

Best Regards
Bernhard
