default answer to “I want to connect with you on [hip unfree service]”

I just decided to give a default answer when I get some email from people asking me to connect to them on some new unfree service:

Hello [Person],

You asked me to connect with you on some unfree service. If you still want that, just use a status.net [1]-server. Those are federated, so you can use a number of different providers and still be connected to everyone on any other server. As an example, see quitter.se [2] — or check the server-feature list [3]¹.

You can then subscribe to me on sn.1w6.org/drak [4].

It’s bad enough that I have Twitter and G+. I don’t see value in another non-federated service.

Best wishes,
Arne
