IDF.social is your home if you know:
\[

Dear all,
For now, I will keep the site closed for registrations; but everyone can independently invite people to join using the following link to generate an invite:
If you know someone who wants to join this instance, then please do give them an invite!
Consider the instance open for those who know anyone on IDF.social.
"Sense of community" and an initial seed of some 40 IR researchers should be enough to keep those spammers out of here and still grow the club!

We couldn't go with the trend of the recent Twitter move to Mastodon, because we were already here π
But for the newcomers it might still be interesting to hear from their friendly collaborative Markdown editor with the cute logo. π€
