Would you join a local Fediverse Club if one was available?

that's...... Intriguing

@evan Hard no.

@evan Hard no.
@meduz why?

@evan I don’t like being around people after they got alcohol in their systems and where I live currently beer is the king
(As in some people don’t consider beer to be an alcoholic beverage)
@xgebi that's interesting. Most clubs I participate in don't have alcohol at the actual meeting, although sometimes people go out for drinks after. Are you in a LUG or other kind of club?

@evan
I'd rather:
1 FInd a hackerspace nearby and create the club there
2 If no hackerspace exists nearby create one and GOTO 1 -
@evan yes and I started one here in Vancouver which meets IRL for building the #OpenWeb. It’s third space called #FediCollective inspired by my experience and what I learned at #FediCon2025
For now it’s face to face monthly over coffee but I hope to find some co-organizing help for a global/ online-only membership version so folx can remotely participate in discussions and solutions

@evan ...and what would this club do? What would the point of it?

@Bodling what a great question! What are some things you could imagine a local Fediverse Club might do?
-
Sure, but didn’t I already do that when I joined a Fediverse server?

@evan I imagine a Fediverse Club could be a live version of the various fediverse apps (people meeting people and talking, sharing photos, or whatever).
Or it could be coding new and better versions of existing fediverse things.
Or focused on formulating community standards of behaviour.
Or just a social get together for people who met online and therefore think that they might hit it off face to face.
But you're the one who brought up the idea. What were you imagining when you used the phrase? Or is it in common usage and I'm just so far out of the loop that I didn't know what "Fediverse Club" meant?

@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.
