Lexie can't communicate 🍣Dec 13, 2022

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.

I met a black homeless street boy in Uganda who thought he could never do well in school because school was made for white people. He said all the black Ugandans walked by him not even knowing he existed. He could never trust a black person. He thought he would never succeed- he had no family and only lived on the streets with his gang of nine other street kids.

The world needs psychologists and social workers.
