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 I’m extremely new to Mastodon. I don’t know how to boost someone…

@Mamamoose05 it's the little button that looks like two arrows circling around (the appearance may vary depending on your app or server).

Boost are the only thing that lets posts get exposure since there's no algorithm unlike other social media.
