I have been thinking about this for a while. I want an online community that encourages meet-ups and face-to-face time. No so much twitter-esq, but more event based. Maybe with a feed that shows small announcements, news and reports in a magazine style?
It would be super cool if many towns and cities have their own online meeting place, that can also interact with neighbouring places!
I haven’t look to much into it, but maybe @bonfire@indieweb.social can provide this?
EDIT: Their webpage: https://bonfirenetworks.org/
It is a Mastodon username, but I see that it doesn’t resolve correctly.
