Not everyone in rural towns is a right wing redneck

Not everyone, sure. Please post the name/location of your town so we can all have a look at it with Google Street View!

Why would anyone voluntarily doxx themselves on a platform full of angry extremists?

In a town of 17,000 people I don't think naming it will dox them. There's enough of a population there that they could be any number of hundreds of weirdos 🤣

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in my town on Lemmy, but my town is much smaller than 17,000 people.
