I want to connect my neighbourhood in some way, but I don’t know how to handle this privacy friendly 🤔

we want to connect to coordinate … lets say some gardening. we can handle first information via email, but afterwards it gets messy for the organizer. the neighbours don’t care about privacy at all as far as I know so Element/Matrix won’t work. and most of them don’t have 'media literacy skills. should I give in and forget about a coordinated talking ground outside of neighbourhood meetings irl?

    Signal is very straightforward to use, if there’s anyone else in the group that uses it then maybe start with them

      This is the way to go.

      @OP: You could even print out QR codes with Signal invite links to the group, so people can on-board others in the neighbourhood.

      Props for trying to create a more tightly-knit community, btw! It’s the single most important thing to do against the loneliness epidemic and the fallout that comes with it. You’re doing the right thing, and doing it in a privacy-friendly way is even better.

        thanks! I’ve been thinking about doing this for a couple years now and yesterday was the day when I decided I’m just gonna start. I rang some doorbells and invited random neighbours to my place for tonight^^

        Signal with QR-Codes is a good idea, thank u!
