I remember (hazily) discussing a similar article with editors earlier.
My recollection is the consensus was it seemed a little too
"self-back-patting." In other words, more congratulating ourselves as
opposed to serving our audience. Is there a way to spin this kind of
article to focus more on them?

I'd be happy to see this spun as an introduction to put other social media and the
benefits of following them.
I believe that encouraging Magazine only readers to consider other channels increases
their familiarity with the contribution parts of the project. I also think that we need to
provide some way markers for people to find the ways we communicate.

I'd be happy to see this spun as an introduction to put other social

I like this bent. In other words, rather than focusing on the number,
focus on the question, "Are you following us in all these places too?"
Then the mention of the follower # is just incidental to that call to
action. "Hey, 89K other people are doing this too!"

Just to add a comment, it would be great to sync up with Marketing on
trying to get a feel for where we have a community presence or where
people can participate. For example, I'd love to mention our Reddit,
Telegram, and Discord communities, to make sure we're promoting anywhere
that we have a strong presence.
I'm also +1 to focusing more on selling "Where is Fedora?" than "We
made
it to 100k!", but I don't anyone is disagreeing on this either. :)

I am very +1 to both of these ideas. I think the result will be better
than the draft I dashed off. Justin, can you take point on engaging
marketing? The proper article is not something I have cycles for at
this moment.

I'll work on putting together a social media round-up post with the
intention to publish before Flock.
