Hey #Nashville people - interested in getting off this hellsite to a better place? Check out https://t.co/9oJNfmsamM - a mastodon instance just for Nashville citizens and related accounts...run by your favorite local ex-Twitter engineer. :-) DM me for an invite or just sign up!

@NashSevereWx Now is a good time to get off this site and onto open alternatives like Mastodon. https://t.co/Humrsg54dj is a Nashville specific instance.

[Peter Robison @PeterRobison]

Now is a good reminder that Nashtodon is a thing and it's awesome.

I've moved over from esq social (which was a great place!) to the https://t.co/NETJ0SUP2j community that @n8foo created, and so far I love the local experience. That was what I enjoyed about twitter anyway.

@nashmallow I set up https://t.co/Humrsg54dj for Nashville locals. Happy to have you on the fediverse!

@freddieoconnell Alright fine, I support your excuse all the way . 😀🏙️

A local instance just made sense to me, which is why https://t.co/Humrsg54dj now exists. Now, how do we get @nashseverewx @freddieoconnell @NC5PhilWilliams to start posting over there? :-)

Back on the topic of Nashville, we had a great presence on Twitter and from what I saw, it was mostly positive and productive. We used it to hold folks accountable, ask questions, and to share fun things and be social.

@ThisIsNashville Other cities don’t operate this way. We are special. CM’s typically don’t have anything to do with zoning. It’s normally planning commission. And they can come up with a cohesive plan. In Nashville’s situation, it’s completely piecemeal with each CM/developer project.

@ThisIsNashville The process, the way we approach this and other projects like this as a city, is what’s broken.

@hcf64 Now you’re freeeeeeeeeeeee!

And yea, amen on the DNS comment.

[Ƞ₳₮ĦȺ₦ ĦɄ฿Ƀ₳ɌÐ @n8foo]

@rattydukes Everybody at their own pace, but I completely agree with you. It is the eventuality. I was inspired by @thinkingfish sign off.
