@Bodling so, in general, I don't provide definitions while a poll is ongoing.

I'll give you some of my own ideas for what a Fediverse Club might do after the poll is over.

@Bodling now that the poll is over: I'd expect a Fediverse Club to work kind of like a Linux Users Group (LUG):

- bring together local people interested in the Fediverse to talk about Fediverse topics
- advocate for social web use in the local community
- help with onboarding (maybe something like an installfest...?)
- develop or support local tools (for example, an RSS gateway for the city government blog)
- be a gateway for local people to connect to a national or global movement

@evan yes, but physical moderation is also critical.

I'm starting a Fediverse Club at Georgia Tech.

@evan

Yes. I first joined a Swedish server (here in Sweden) and then I started my own which I run on a physical device, so it’s very local.

It would be cool to have a directory of Fediverse-focused clubs and similar organisations. I wonder who owns fediverse.club...?

@evan interestingly, both fediverse.club and fedi.club were registered on the same day but records are private, as you must have seen

@_elena I did! I hoped it would get around on here.

@_elena Maybe it was @dansup ?

@evan @_elena nope, it wasn't me. It does look like it was a pleroma server in 2021.
