Does anyone on #SFBA have experience writing opinion pieces for local news papers? The admin team is about to attempt a draft explaining SFBA and the fediverse to a local paper audience. Ideally, in a way it could be customized to each area of the bay! I’d love to invite our neighbors to join us here 🎉 Also, I’d love to hear about your local paper so I can include them 📰 I would be super excited if you want to write it for your paper too! I’d greatly prefer to have a recommendation come from someone in the community than one of the admin team for the website 😅 #OpEd #Opinion #LocalNews #BayArea #SpreadMastodon #WelcomeTheCommunity

@announcements @cd24 I love the federated aspect! I love that I can interact with the wider network but also have a home base of people in my area talking about what’s going on locally (why I chose sfba over an interest-centric server). I also love what it’s not - Twitter et al always felt like a mall food court masquerading as the town square. Yes I could visit, but the intent was always to get me to buy something & it got more intrusive as profit margins demanded.
@announcements @cd24 Here I pay in, but it’s genuinely more of a community space because of that.
@paging_chris this is excellent! Thank you 🙏
