I started mcr.town to see if there was an appetite for it and I think I’ve conclusively proven that there isn’t!

Unlike Mastodon, where I believe local-based instances are a great idea for all sorts of reasons, it doesn’t really make as much sense on Lemmy where a local sub on any server will do just as well.

There aren’t any (non-bot and non-me) accounts on here so I don’t feel the need to keep things running for any length of time but please let me know if I’m wrong there!

Finally, this doesn’t affect my plans for mcr.wtf in any way at all. On the contrary, I intend to focus more effort there. I love that little instance and the people on it!

This instance (and !manchester@mcr.town) will cease to exist at some point in the next few days.
