Hello Minnesota!

This is a new server directed at people who live in Minnesota. We hope to connect people in the state and the greater fediverse.

@carsten Hello new server, from Seattle!

There's no algorithm, building your network means *you* build it. Exclude jerks, and keep inviting your neighbors!!

Happy fediversing, from a rando in another community, seeking the same kind of billionaire-free social cohesion..

Oh, and ABOLISH ICE! ✊

@mousey hello to Seattle! I have been on the Fediverse for about 2 years, then started an instance for my business last year. Now trying to set up my first public server... Glad for any suggestions!

@carsten There's a lot smarter people than me on this topic. Mostly someone *knows* someone who's being on-boarded in our instance (it's a social network, not a public bathroom), but policy is entirely up to instance admins. That's good and bad news, since, what's good policy?? I can't answer that, my advice is more practical, avoid letting (random) bots join, vet as many new accts as you (and your team(?)) encounter them, Ilke, they should pass a Turing test at least. And ban Nazis, asap.

@carsten @mousey that is awesome Carsten! I started this one for Tacoma WA last MLK Day. 😊

So far its been low adoption but its been good and ive met some good folks.

At first I was putting up fliers around town but then got busy with other things. I am thinking about doing that again this year for the anniversary. Help my neighbors learn that you CAN leave corporate social media if you choose. :D

@justin @carsten Good luck, may both of your communities reclaim much digital sovereignty over the flows of your social data!
