Dear white people:

Whenever you see someone who is #BIPOC speak up about the lack of #diversity on Mastodon... You don't need to give your opinion, you don't need to correct them about their own experience, you don't need to highlight the wonders of the fediverse. Just don't.

Instead, please listen to what they say, and remember that reach here is mediated by boosts, so instead of telling them to invite more people over—or to become Mastodon leaders of their community...

... Just boost them

Make a conscious effort to follow people who are #BIPOC and boost their posts.

Boost posts by non-white marginalized communities so you can help their voices reach farther.

@lexiemaki also don't tell them they need to find a different server. Yes there are some vile servers out there but they are likely already deferderated. It's unfair to tell them to move or ban every server where they experienced abuse because they'd end up with very little options. (1/2)
@lexiemaki We need to collectively put in a social effort to make our great experience inclusive to everyone, by calling out and reporting bad actors and LISTEN without being defensive. The rest of us may be having a good time but the call is coming from inside the house! (2/2)
