Hello Stefan,

I think this would be okay, yeah. We are staunch supporters of open social 
media platforms in general, and the Fediverse in particular. We often remind/
coax people who follow us on proprietary platforms to change over to free 
ones.

We will check the links you have sent us and check with the team in charge of 
social media.

Will let you know shortly.

Cheers

Paul
