I’m finding my feed skews very white and male despite the fact that I followed a lot of my Twitter friends over here.

I also find a lot of folks on here very “old guard”, in the sense that they have been here a long time and want you to know it, and that your opinion doesn’t count if you’re new. Some people have been quite rude.

Idk. I’m still not convinced.

@sophie I’m very much in the white male demographic so I ask this with a feeble attempt at acknowledging my biases / ignorance - but I follow hashtags (ie I have no idea where the #u2 fans are on here) in my mastodon feed and then automatically have a variety of people in my feed. Why wouldn’t that work for social movements as well?

@ichris mastodon doesn’t seem to have the same level of discoverability (by choice I presume). So unless someone happens to repost it into your feed or you already follow the hashtag, you don’t see it. And without the virality it can be hard to gain the traction these movements need
