@MishaVelthuis I remember mastodon.in, but it doesn't exist anymore. Or maybe I'm confused with another URL. Anyhow, people from India should do this themselves. It would be great if those servers are state, city or language based.

@MishaVelthuis There is one in #Bihar, but of a population of 130 million people, there's only one active. What is actually very sad. 馃槩
@joenepraat
Yes, how is this possible...
I guess there are many answers to that question. You're right of course that this should first and foremost be taken up by people in India, but I wonder what the *current* Fediverse can do to help...
@MishaVelthuis Maybe offering cheap/free hosting space outside #India would be an idea, because of the repressive climate under Modi.
@MishaVelthuis Another issue, is that Mastodon is only for 13% translated to #Hindi, 15% to #Tamil, 10% #Punjabi, and 5% to #Marathi. Just to name a few. Of course a lot of people can read English but using Mastodon in their mother tongue is a plus. #India has a large diaspora, so maybe those people can be of use?

@Theorem_Poem do you mind me involving you in this thread? Maybe you have any thoughts on this?
