@inquiline #poptimism approach to #music mirrors critiques of #Mastodon:

#noncommercial #IndyMedia start off as #white #male and #elitist, with steep barriers to entry by #class #gender and #race (true of #Mastodon #OpenSource and #The1980s #TheEarly1990s #PostPunk #BBS #Usenet)

while centralized corporate industries provide a #space for #race and #gender #diversity and #community building
(true for both #BlackMusic and #BlackTwitter)

#HackingDiversity may be a way out of this conundrum
