Hello all! Didn’t realize there was an AZ level community. When I created tucson.social, I almost created arizona.social, but found the domain price a bit steep.

Anyways, I’m reaching out to see if there is any interest in combining instances, or at least working together a bit closer.

Particularly, I was considering making an ad campaign here in Tucson for the instance, but perhaps it’d be better to unify efforts?

I suppose that might need ideological alignment between instances - so to be clear, tucson.social:

1. Continues to federate with Threads (az.social also appears to federate with Threads)
2. Uses a modified defederation list sourced from Beehaw.org (lemmy.az.social doesn’t appear to have defederated any instances at this point)
3. Is aiming to become an Arizona non-profit.

Anyways, even if things aren’t completely aligned, I’ve already subscribed to your instance communities - making them easier to find on our instance. So hopefully y’all get some more views from folks on tucson.social and elsewhere in the fediverse.

Anyways, HMU if this sounds like a good idea.

Th3raid0r out!
