I was looking into social media policies established by municipalities and came across this article referencing a policy update by the Town of Innisfil, population approximately 44k. The debate over leaving X is likely going on across Canada, and towns or cities are simply stopping their use or struggling to figure out an alternative. Towns in the 25k to 50k population range are prime candidates to convert to Mastodon.
