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.

If Mastodon is waiting for me to die and shut-up about #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility, it won't work. I will live in my descendants forever, two of them are already here. @Tzipporah is already ready to fully take over.We are seeds, you can't get rid of us. We just get noisier and more plentiful.

Check out the topics on Join Mastodon.Imagine this - I'm talking about #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC People. In #Mastodon world, all Black People, all Indigenous People, all People of Color - THE GLOBAL MAJORITY of human beings on the planet are less important than Sports and one sports instance. Just keep going through the topics, don't make me compare any others...
Shame on you Mastodon.

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.

@Yehuda @Tzipporah thank you for being here and being such a huge advocate for #indigenous people.

#Native #Indigenous #BIPOC@Yehuda Dammit! In that way they’re no better than the former bird site or the book of faces. For me it’s just another example of how baked in white supremacy and privilege and all the rest is. And I’m speaking as a straight white male, with all the privilege that implies, though I’m also a person with a disability so I have at least a taste of what it’s like to be undervalued and sometimes outright dismissed. But, again, my privilege cushions me there too. Keep fighting the good fight.

#Native #Indigenous #BIPOChmmm you're giving me an idea
maybe we can get some people to work on editing the wikipedia page with some of these critiques? not sure that will change anything at the top but the fact that there is nothing at all on the whole page reflecting the racism problems makes me think there's an opening, and i bet they do care about how they're portrayed there
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)
edit, wowow the citation on fediblock... needs work, along the lines of:

https://joinmastodon.org/servers@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?)

@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.

@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.

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

@mattesilver @TechConnectify usually the warranty is that after 25 years the panels will still produce at least 80%, these days often even more, and that's the *minimum*, if one is lucky¹ it could easily be more.

Nuovi exploit comunicativi di Elly Schlein. Il programmatico "Dobbiamo riprenderci Tolkien", che fa un po' tenerezza (parlando di egemonia culturale), ma soprattutto il funambolico "dobbiamo tenere insieme la fine del mese con la fine del mondo" 🚀

I used to lie to myself and be afraid of taking space (I still do though). A form of that was being "chill and cool" when people misspell my name on emails. Especially my first name. But today I am actually furious. But still, I am afraid of being firm and correcting such obvious thing.
