See a lot of people floating in from Reddit. Welcome!
Make use of the space and try to keep things civil and at least related to Chicago. If you liked the vibe of /r/Chicago, feel free to emulate that here as well, and please leave feedback so we can make this place useful and welcoming to everyone!

Is it just me or is it kinda weird that midwest.social's description says, "A lemmy server for, but not limited to, leftists in the Midwest USA". I'm not republican but it seems this server doesn't accept all views and I'm not sure this is the best place for an /r/Chicago replacement. Thoughts?
I've been thinking about this comment a lot recently. I appreciate the perspective, the "leftist" affiliation hadn't initially bothered me (my people) but I can see why folks might be hesitant about it, and I think this conversation could be important if we want to keep growing.
One of the best parts about the fediverse is we can host this community anywhere, and you don't necessarily need to create an account on midwest.social to interact and participate so folks have the option to ignore the rest of the server.
I appreciate the fact that both /c/Chicago and /c/Chibike are on a regional server catering to the Midwest but I'd go where the community is.
