Helloooo SFBA Fediverse!
I want SFBA.social to grow! 
I’ve been personally investigating ways for our instance to advertise to local users with the power of peer and on-foot advertising. I believe one of the best parts of our instance is that it is *local*. We are not aiming to be a mega instance, but offer the platform as a space for Bay Area residents to connect to the fediverse, and I want more of our neighbors to know about it.
I have several questions for you, and I would love to hear any and all ideas you have for sharing SFBA.social (or any other regional instances) with our neighbors!

"Last September, Caltrain launched four fare promotions, with the $1 youth fare being the most successful at driving up ridership. During the promotion, the fare only applied to Clipper users, and Clipper youth ticket sales shot up 43% compared to the same time period one year earlier."

My little tech worker coop is working with #Piikup an #Oakland based delivery and logistics organization that provides door-to-door grocery, meal, and catering delivery services for a number of local restaurants and caterers.
Piikup is working towards a just transition from the #DoorDash, #EZCater, #TryCaviar, or #UberEats all of which aggressively squeeze food service and delivery workers.
If we can get 10 people ordering a plate once a month, that will help us work out the logistical and technological kinks. If you can afford to drop $15~$25/plate once a month on a delicious, healthy meal delivered to your door by workers who care about quality and community; please email hello@zinc.coop with your city and neighborhood and we'll let you know when we're ready to run our real test!

My first time with the First Fridays at Five bike bus organized by Safe Streets Petaluma 🤩 It was great biking in a mixed group of seasoned cyclists and casual riders like myself, great opportunity to learn from one another!
... And closing out with dinner and drinks at The Block? A delightful way to spend a Friday evening.

We had a wonderful weekend full of family 🥰 First what felt like a mini reunion at Howarth Park and then celebrating Greg's birthday. We made a lemon layer cake, and it went alright! Way better than the first layer cake we made a few years ago 😂

We're still looking for talks! If you want to join us on stage at the best extremely rural-but-close-to-a-major-city #Python conference this year, you'll need to get your talk proposals in before next Friday (April 12th). What are you waiting for?
