Are there #YVR or #FraserValley meetups for #Mastodon #Fediverse people? I want to talk to fediverse people IRL but I have to limit it to locals because the line between giddiness and smugness of this returnee could be fuzzy to non-BC folk.
I do have long-term friends but they're either sick or full with family and work commitments. I don't want to hear "you didn't know this? Where have you BEEN?" from them.
