Long description
Welcome to subdued.social, the regional Mastodon instance for the area around Bellingham, Washington, the "City of Subdued Excitement". Bellingham is located on the territory of the Lhaq’temish (Lummi) and Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack) people.

Inspired by local servers like social.seattle.wa.us, pdx.social, pnw.zone, and sanjuans.life, this instance is for people who want a local feed that is primarily but not exclusively about #BellinghamWA content, but who also want to be able to federate with servers on any topic all around the world.

In this instance we encourage the use of the #BellinghamWA hashtag for tagging your Bellingham content. If you just use #Bellingham these days (without the "WA") your feed will be filled with content about English soccer prodigy Jude Bellingham. :)

This instance is run by @alan@subdued.social, co-moderated by @morganm@subdued.social, and is actively recruiting additional moderators.

This site in particular and the Mastodon fediverse in general are supported exclusively by donations. There are no advertisements here! So please set up a recurring donation at ko-fi.com/subduedsocial if this service is useful to you. Thanks in advance! We use Masto.host for hosting (for full transparency, their pricing is here: masto.host/pricing) so a regular donation of a couple dollars per month would be greatly appreciated.

A portion of all proceeds are donated to the Lhaq’temish Foundation as a form of voluntary land tax paid to the indigenous peoples of our area.

This instance commits to The Mastodon Server Covenant.
