Close down unstaffed social media accounts (or put them into sleep mode)
Problem description
We currently have multiple unmaintained social media accounts:
https://www.facebook.com/Inkscape.org https://www.instagram.com/inkscapeofficial/ https://www.deviantart.com/inkscape
It appears as if there is nobody who wants to take care of those currently, so I'm suggesting to put them into sleep mode and ask users to follow us on other channels.
Possible message to post:
Dear Inkscape Community on $PLATFORM,
you've probably noticed that we haven't posted anything on here for quite some time. This is because our team is focusing on other platforms currently. Inkscape is very much alive, even if it doesn't look like that on $PLATFORM! Currently we're working on making Inkscape 1.3 awesome (despite the number, it's a major release, with lots of new cool stuff inside!).
So we'd like to invite you to join us in the other places where the members of the Inkscape community meet, and where up-to-date bits of news are being posted - that way, you cannot miss our 1.3:
