In FL, the only one here with signups open is not responding and has 56k members. The next closest one is the only one open in Atlanta and it’s exploding heads. No thanks. Wish I had more options.
Yeah we need a FloridaMan instance! I’ll help set it up if someone else pays for it. I’m a card-carrying bearded Unix/Linux admin who knows how to exit
vim👍What would something like that cost?
yeah pass 💀💀💀
Exploding heads? I’m in GA, but also don’t care about local stuff because I live in south. I just go for stuff outside that scope for a broader sense of what’s going on.
