For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a https://TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon. 😎This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.
For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.
@Yehuda @Tzipporah Happy birthday! And congratulations, I see you, you are gaining visibility, what you do is not in vain, it is getting traction.
I had very good reasons to run from twitter when it turned bad, but I do miss the diversity of voices from back when it was good. I just kept running across communities whose stories I was never told.
Tracing back why I am here now: there was this glorious cooperation between LockpickingExtreme and BeadsByBatsheva, the "be gay, do crime" lockpicking earrings. I had my earlobes pierced just to wear them one day. And it was from Batsheva that I found Tzipporah, and from there I found out about Turtle Island.
I'm here to contribute what's in my power to turn the fediverse into this magic place connecting communities again.

What stops you from doing this on your own? Or at least go to the talk page to get some idea if others would find it helpful if a "critic" paragraph is added?

@Yehuda @Tzipporah I’m afraid I’ve no pull with the schmuck(s) involved with those decisions, but I hope you’ll enjoy this personalized happy birthday message.

And to be ultra clear, when I say #Mastodon or Mastodon world, I'm talking about the Mastodon organization.The #Fediverse and the people on #Mastodon instances are amazingly great people. The org Mastodon is deep in #SystemicRacism #WhiteSupremacy
The org could easily go oops our bad, sorry and fix it pronto before it goes to the next level. But they won't even answer an email. They are a social media organization and they ignore hundreds and hundreds of boosts.
#Native #Indigenous #BIPOC@Yehuda Sorry to ask, but could you spell out the fix you're asking for?

I'm writing followup posts on our Patreon too. I strongly encourage EVERYONE to grab a free subscription there to keep abreast of new posts on this subject. In the meantime:https://TurtleIsland.social is invisible to Mastodon
It's time to make Mastodon friendly to non-white cultures
Mastodon gGmbH needs to lead this - list TurtleIsland.social and create an Indigenous category.
Mvto! (Thanks!)

Sometimes you do a controlled burnColonialism doesn't just steal land, it steals everything, including equality on social media networks - racism keeps it that way

@Yehuda
Wondering if we can get @haubles and/or @andypiper to give a read to this thread ⬆️ and address this -
@Yehuda honestly i dont know whats more weird here, that there is only 1 sports instance or that they went out of their way to make a category for 1 sports instance while a bunch of other stuff seems missing
(not just bipoc, but like where are the plural servers? where are the anarchist servers? those three make up like half of fedi?)

https://www.patreon.com/posts/148563046Can these posts be found anywhere apart from patreon? Unfortunately patreon uses cloudflare to block Tor users, so when I visit the links to your posts I just see an Access Denied error message from cloudflare saying "The owner of this website (www.patreon.com) has banned the country or region your IP address is in (TOR) from accessing this website"

Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September.
First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon, the #fediverse, and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible.
We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it.
I am sorry we haven’t done this yet. We are working on it, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me to check in on progress. You can email me too: hannah[@]joinmastodon.org.
If you want to hear more, here is the talk where we announced the first experiment and shared more info about Server Directory (we will publish a blog post soon too). The relevant sections start at around 10:50.

Happy birthday, friend :) more soon

@gino accollati pure senza problemi. mi fa piacere parlarne. io mi riferisco al video fatto girare del poliziotto menato. probabilmente l'hai già letta la testimonianza della giornalista del manifesto, se no te la lascio qua:
https://poliversity.it/@emama/115996714946368099per quanto riguarda quello che hai scritto, tutto quello che vuoi basta non chiudere gli occhi sulla pratica ormai consolidata della polizia nella gestione di ogni manifestazione di sinistra di creare una trappola per topi per creare l'incidente con i manifestanti, manganellare gente inerme, e se qualcuno risponde alla forza pubblica, mandare ai media uno spezzone del video in cui si vede solo il poliziotto menato. il copione mi sembra ormai sempre quello da vent'anni.

Renaissance man and polymath Leonardo da Vinci was deeply interested in botany; many of his better-known works include signs of his careful examination of plants.

@beka_valentine @cstross Wasn’t that true throughout most of human history?

@filippodb ma è proprio il minimo! A me non costa nulla e facciamo sapere che esiste qualcosa di diverso, cominciamo a mettere almeno il logo nei pensieri di qualcuno.

I think the talk Simon (@S1m) and I gave on #UnifiedPush at #FOSDEM turned out very well. If you have 30 minutes and want to learn how push notifications in general and UnifiedPush in particular work, check out the recording.
