Colorado Server Interest (lemmy.world)

Looking to gauge interest in a Colorado instance/server. I've been messing with a private Lemmy instance on an Azure virtual machine and am giving serious thought to spinning up a Colorado server. The domain centennialstate is pretty available and cheap, for example centennialstate.space is only $20 a year.

Edit: I went ahead and set up the server, centennialstate.social is up and running!

I have been thinking about this more and I’m thinking that it is almost necessary. Right now lemmy.world is operated by dude in Germany. While this benevolent dude is letting us all pile in here for free could change on a whim or a personal circumstance change of that dude.

A Colorado based instance would be a great landing pad for many, and a great insurance policy for the rest of us. If another instance goes away suddenly, we would have a place to fall back to and rebuild.

I’m currently trying to go at this fediverse operation full steam. I have 3 mastodon accounts (because I didn’t understand it at first, and could only just recently get a mastodon.social account). I also have pixelfed account and obviously this lemmy.world account. For me it is not terribly difficult to manage several accounts, and the apps clearly are ready/expecting several accounts.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger, centennialstate.social is up and running!
