I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here? I'll pay the bills. Period.I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.DM me.

@ricci Thank you for the offer - I deeply appreciate it!At this stage, I myself am leading a precarious life, so do not have the bandwidth to take it up. But if someone I know wants to run a Fedi instance, and is hesitating due to lack of funds, I will connect them with you.

@ricci There is a huge group, that is underrepresented in the fediverse. The conservatives. But it's difficult to get them here. So much easier for them to stay in their big tech echo chambers, petted by the algorithm that constantly confirms their opinion

@ricci I'm operating two fedi instances (social.buddyverse.net and lemmy.buddyverse.net) as of now. Planning to run another one specifically for Bangladeshi users. Electricity is pretty cheap here. Hardware (specially storage) and internet speed is the only bottleneck we have.

@ricci I don't have the bandwidth or knowledge to run it myself, but one thing I'm missing from both Twitter and Instagram is a thriving musician community. I'm partial to electronic music production, but all of it is basically non-existant here as far as I can tell.

@ricci Super kind offer. Would/could you run glitch-soc or just Mastodon? More asking out of interest, thought about something blindness related but we have a cupple of great instances (including mine) where it wouldn't really make sense to further split imo.

Hi @ricci Living in West Africa, there's a huge lack of instances on the continent, except 3 or 4 in SouthAfrica (and 1 in Nigeria?), which means just a few African people in the Fediverse (on a population of 1.5B and growing).Today most are on on FB/X or Whatsapp...I've been struggling with this for quite some time, and have no clear idea how to solve this.Might be 1 solution could be to target the African diasporas first... with a strong moderation team behind.Worth trying, IMHO.

@ricci Ahoy! I joined just to be able to respond to your comment. What I miss and would really like to be a part of is a community for musicians around the world to get together and collaborate, especially explorative or slightly more experimental musicians.A place where they can show what they are working on, what currently has their interest, what work by others they find interesting and/or admire. Maybe a place where they can give mini tutorials on things that they’ve learned…
