I’ve gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I’d love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there’s a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn’t praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?

I can’t really speak for other people, but I was involved with orgs before I joined Hexbear. Also, maybe considering joining more orgs and meeting more people. I feel like joining one of the national and well known orgs would have a better chance of meeting one of us. If I remember right a few orgs are either/or, but the IWW should be chill. About 80,000 people voted for PSL in the last presidential, and there are like 1,000 consistent Hexbears + Lemmygraders, so if you meet above 80 IRL people there is a good chance at least one of them is a Lemmy user.
