Thanks for the reply! I live in a city that's maybe 1/5th the population of Denver, but much of what you said still applies.

The city has an active transportation initiative, but it's rather piecemeal with little follow-through where it's needed. For example, they will put in a cycle track along a busy road, which is awesome. But the trouble is to get to it, you need to go through some underpass with no shoulders and hard concrete walls looming on either side that scream cyclist death trap.

Sometimes I think if even one of the city councillors actually tried bike-commuting, things would change in a hurry…

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.
