I’m just one person doing this as a personal project - this is my way to meet neighbors, #Boston is in some ways a small city.

If this thread is useful, I hope you’ll share it with your friends, especially those who aren’t tuned into ActivityPub/Fediverse/Mastodon social media - this is the kind of non-commercial project we do here.
