About

western.social was a network of micro-blogging websites based on Mastodon. At one point we had a number of sites for the western US states. Due to lack of interest, the sites for the other states were shut down or never deployed.

At this point, we only operate the following sites for Arizona:

• western.social - Mastodon/Fediverse public user profile search
• az.social - Arizona Mastodon instance
• lemmy.az.social - Arizona Lemmy instance

Support

The operational costs for western.social are covered by user contributions through our Patreon account here:
