Hexbear has one for Liberal, Kansas: !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net
City specific subreddits are the most
part of why on earth would we want to replicate that in the fediverse?r/localcity be like: I’m as liberal as they come but we really need to start shooting the unhoused on sight
Also any location specific
is guaranteed to be at least 50% americans pretending they are from there.
I am firmly convinced that joining a local subreddit is driven by the same basic impulse as joining an HOA board, or a fascist party, differentiated only in degree.
The impulse for us should be “drown out these fucking losers and appropriate the small community-focused institutions into something useful”
Edit: oops not exactly my comm, didn’t see that
because you can actually ban the creeps and stop it from looking like Facebook.
I think its a good idea, if they’re explicitly left leaning.deleted by creator
There used to be Craigslist and in some places there still is. Some cities have other websites, search for cityname + classified ads listing etc. Newspapers. I highly doubt it’ll be fediverse.
All else fails do it the old fashioned way: put up some posters asking your question with an email address. Maybe someone will clue you in.
There is a mastodon instance for atlanta i think: https://join.theatl.social/
There is midwest.social
Might be others.
I’ve thought about setting up a northeast.social.
the network effects are pretty strong so you basically have to go wherever the most people are. I guess maybe its a thing on mastodon, but I haven’t spent enough time there to know
