Challenge:
I'd like to ask you people to boost this post to see how long it'd take for it to reach someone else from my town (Westervoort, The Netherlands).
Of course, that implies that I'm not the only one here that uses Mastodon, but hey, part of the challenge :)

Starting on the 18th of August 2020 :)

GO!

Ladies, Gentleman and everything in between, we've done it!
I've gotten in touch with a person in my hometown (frankly enough, he/she lived even closer than we'd thought).
Sadly, said person did not want to get announced here for his/her privacy.

Thanks everyone who has participated!

@InspectorCaracal @finlaydag33k That's like a two hour drive away from me, I don't think I know a single person in the province, but I'll boost. 👍

@finlaydag33k Please don't solicit boosts, including as challenges.

"Seeking peeps in , boosts appreciated", is legit.

"Boost if you like" (no, there's "fave" for that, or run a poll), or "let's get this to X boos", etc., no.

I block profiles doing this on sight, report the content, and recommend others do likewise. It's straight up spam.

@basvanhaastregt Oof :p
Nouja, het schiet in iedergeval wel op :)
Ik had er al eentje die 2 uur verderop woont (wss ook ongeveer de andere kant van het land, of onze buren).
De reach in ene dag is al best groot : D

@finlaydag33k I had to double check if I was reading a post from Facebook's Mastodon instance :-)
