Who remembers Topix.com? It was a giant forum with a subforum for pretty much every city in America. Locals would gossip on there about local habbenings. It was basically like 4chan for local areas and was a great resource for digging into grassroots sentiment around the country. They nuked it in 2018 and I feel it was too big a threat to the narrative controllers to have something like that where people could post first-hand accounts based locally. Are there any more forums like that??
That's a good start but the real beauty of Topix was the city / town - specific forums. It basically turned where you lived into a giant social network (and yes this caused some problems, but still)
I think a state-level forum would be too broad, especially in states with giant mega-cities like California or Florida, the smaller areas would be drowned out
Think in terms of the founding fathers and how America was created. They didn't start with all the regions they have today. As they grew they got more specific and added places. 100% though the goal is to eventually build up city by city, however to have it all connected to a bigger vision. By themselves they lose the spark and die out
As long as the web infrastructure is there, you would only have to add a forum for every city. Once that's done it's just about spreading the word! If you build it they will come
Yes the states are just the beginning. We will build off them into even more localized regions. Right now it's about creating the vision for it so others will come on board.
Sounds awesome. Once the infrastructure is solid (and it'll need to be hosted on its own servers probably to prevent deplatforming) we would need a big media campaign to let ppl know about it. Once it takes off it will be everywhere!

We just gotta build it. What better place then here on .win :)
We already have the state pages created. We can branch out from there
