It's been brought to my attention that while #BuyNothing groups are pretty useful, they tend to exist mainly on Facebook. It'd be nice to have such a group for #WaterlooRegion here on the fedi as well.
I'd be happy to set one up, but if there's one that already exists, I'd rather use that than start from scratch. Is anyone aware of such a group here?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •It seems to me that at current scale, we're unlikely to see a worldwide community on Mastodon that's overwhelming. And by the time such a community WOULD become overwhelming, I'd expect sub-groups to form - probably linked to the worldwide forum to allow users to select which areas they'd want to subscribe to.
Or maybe that should be a Lemmy thing. I don't know.

Then again, it looks like I just submitted a follow request. Which isn't really what I'd expect from reddit-style communities on fedi...

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •FWIW, while I’m not what a # BuyNothing group talks about, the local KW Techs Slack team has a # buylocalandcanadian channel that has great recommendations for local and more-broadly Canadian products, and is focused mainly on independent businesses. It's a great resource, though obviously not fediverse.
Also FWIW, I’d love to see something similar here.
