       I think it's time for an ellijay.social mastodon/hometown instance.

       Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think I need to provide an avenue for local social media. I need to do it because no one else will. It needs to exist. I don't want to be the person responsible for it. I should see if the library or another local organization wants to sponsor it.

       @ajroach42 I'd really like to see some sort of social media software that focuses on local. Not just "you can create an instance with the locale in the name" like with mastodon/hometown, but something more like Nextdoor (except maybe designed not not just be all nimby's all the time) where it specifically gives you methods of controlling who can see your posts based on locale. I don't really know what this would look like, but I think about sitting down to plan it out all the time.

       @ajroach42 in Barcelina we have toyed with such concepts, but it's always been hard to get the funding and in the end it goes back to privately run instances, by collectives, associations or indoviduals.Hope you have better luck, public libraries are an interesting idea!

       @ajroach42 Great Idea - especially the library part.  This is needed everywhere!

       @ajroach42 that’s the idea behind this instance but so far no takers, I like the library idea though

       @ajroach42 Uhh, who was it who was talking about a community, like, bbs, in the 1970s, where they had public terminals around town and that was the only way to use it... Aha, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Memory"It needs to exist. I don't want to be the person responsible for it."So much this. :) #SomebodyOughta
