Is there something inherently having an online community centered around a real-life geographical community? Most of us are Americans…is there something wrong with that? Does every place have to cater to everyone equally?

The great thing about Lemmy or other federated technologies is that other communities can spin up their own instances just as easily as Beehaw. But expecting the Beehaw creators to be able to relate to and effectively moderate everyone equally is too much, in my opinion. We are only human.

I definitely want to go at some point. I have some friends that have been to the one in Denver and really liked it.

I would edit the title if it were incorrect, but it’s not.

This evidently happened on Sunday. This is the perfect example of the sort of thing which makes me sometimes ashamed and even afraid to live in Texas. We should be above this. How hypocritical.

Nay.

Is this two different proposals in one, though?

I, for one, wouldn't have joined this instance if it wasn't blocked.

Whoa, that worked. It's as if searching for it actually created or linked the community. Thank you!
