A Mobilizon instance for the Americans among us

Last time I checked there was no functioning Mobilizon instance based in North America, so I started one. If you have an event coming up this summer but don't want to use Facebook or some other corporate platform, maybe give Mobilizon a shot?

I'm also open to federating with any existing instances, just shoot me an email and I'll set it up 🫡

There is, because I run it 😀

To be fair the "last time I checked" was a couple months ago, glad to see it tho!

Yes, I plan to add it to our local non-profit org but right now it feels super Alpha. And I cannot get the Meetup integration working, which is paramount, as it will save me a whole lot of work 😅

Yeah well, there are surveillance reasons you don't want to rely on services based in the USA.

There are surveillance reasons you’ll want hosting in the US.

Good thing most of the extant instances are European then 👍

Fantastic! I was just looking for an alternative to Meetup, and a lot of the ticketing things dont quite fit the bill. Consider integration with some FOSS Fediverse payment integrations.
