Eugene

Hi there! I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but felt that with the new year, now would be a good time to provide a resource list for those in the Eugene-Springfield area interested in the fediverse, and looking for local posts. I’ll be updating this as needed. Without further ado… Instances Public Signups Emerald Social, my own public instance specifically for the Eugene-Springfield area. Feel free to sign up!

Introduction With social media, I’ve found that people will often gravitate towards whatever is put in-front of them. As such, it is a great power, and thus great responsibility to have control of that. Unfortunately, as it stands, platforms like (but not limited to) Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok fail to handle this responsibility well. It’s well-known that corporate social media abuses its power to destroy people’s mental health and influence elections.
