@Yehuda

hmmm 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:

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.

@inquiline

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?

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 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?)

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!)
