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.

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.

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.

@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:

@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?
