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.

Why do you single out white people for boosting BIPOC posts. Isn't that discriminatory?

Or do you think they need that incentive because they are discriminatory?

Do you assume white people to not boost BIPOC content? Isn't that a prejudice based on race?

There are a lot of generalizations in your post leaving me with a lot of questions, not about the intent to support anyone, but the assumption specific people wont.

Feeling called out, are we?
