Some small rural towns stay connected through Facebook groups.

@Evan Prodromou Doesn't the Fediverse have groups in Friendica and Hubzilla. Maybe even Misskey? Probably Lemmy?

@christopher the tech for groups exists. Lack of such is not the barrier to adoption.

You have to reach the *community* that needs a "group" digital forum tool that suits their purposes, and convince them your thing is better than the thing they have.

it's always the #wetware that's hard.

@Johanna, CanCon variety True about #wetware being the issue.
I think I might approach it with “buy local, host local“ angle.
