If I wasn't so lazy (and cared more) I should probably just setup my own instance. But none of the above prerequisites have been met.

@d3z I've been thinking that too. I also - briefly - thought 'Why don't I set up a #NornIron instance?' before realising how awful an NI instance could quickly become.

@OpinionatedGeek a Northern Ireland instance you say? That would be a horrible idea (/me checks the name of the instance he's posing from)

@d3z I saw your instance name but figured it avoided the awfulness by limiting itself to tech folks.

One of the things I'd miss about Twitter is all the local folks and stories. I thought an NI instance might help bring them over, and also have a nice local 'instance timeline' too. But NI Twitter is often overloaded with politics, and not only am I not interested in that, I don't want the hassle of dealing with other instances and peering when one of the NI users goes too far.

@OpinionatedGeek I wish I had some stories. I need to start thinking about doing something taleworthy.
