This cool new thing that was just created recently called smoke signal that is basically a fediverse alternative to website like meetup.com

Once I saw this I had realized what was missing from the fediverse experience and that this was it, local interaction!

Check out smoke signal!

Interesting, there is a similar project called Mobilizon: https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Nice didn't know this existed, plus its framasoft so its got more attached to it already than just a dev who started a thing recently

Mobilizon is a really solid project -- thanks for mentioning it @blaze@feddit.org !

Great point, I'll add that.

It’s a pity about the name. Cultural appropriation of native Americans is an ongoing problem and this is just tone deaf.

Are you trying to say that the name of smoke signal all is cultural appropriation?

It's a good point, maybe I won't add it after all.
