    First post! I’m in Minnesota. I’m too old to understand the federated stuff very well and am having a confusing learning curve here and on Mastodon. I just know it’s time to get away from social media with shareholders attached, so here I am. Every day is some new horror, but also every day, here I am, trying to learn something new.

    Hello from Madison, new people 👋 I’ve been trying to figure out the most effective activism with my group’s limited resources.

    Made the jump here because theres a lot of doom and gloom on reddit… nice seeing people here being active in their community outside of the online space. Ive already seen organizing/mutual aid work happening on here. Cant wait to explore more, thanks for having me

    Since this place has midwest in the name, and the main mod is from Ohio, I’m gonna roll some dice here. If you happen to be anywhere near northeast Ohio, There’s a group in Cuyahoga Falls called “Meaningful Conversations Akron” that can be found on FB and meets every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. They leverage principles of interfaith spirituality to stay focused on the sort of unity which is necessary as a goal in order to even begin winding down the division that dragged us here.

    The old stickied post suggested going out and making friends in person. That effort is how I found that group. It’s been really good for me.

      I’m glad you found some people. If you’re in the Akron area and are interested in doing some community outreach with other like minded people you should look into Serve The People Akron.

    Evenin’. I’m doing alright, aside from being tired of all the chaos that’s happened these past three months.

    I’m one of the many people coming to Lemmy from Reddit. I made a Mastodon account back when Twitter went to shit (kolektiva, to be precise), so I figured I may as well make one for here.
