I'm enjoying mastodon so far but wow, all the comments about how white it is are extremely right. Almost all the other trans folks I've found have been white, and I know that isn't representative of the real world or even likely mastodon as a whole. I'd love to hear more from trans and queer POC (and POC all up, I've just been connecting with a LOT of trans folks).

Can anyone boost this to help me find more voices to listen to? Or recommend some hashtags? I don't even know how best to tag this.

@inherentlee I'm not sure on mastodon as a whole; really haven't found many people of colour yet who i didn't follow on twitter.

@oluoluolu that's been my experience too. And it has seemed like moving off of Twitter is especially hard for people who are more dependent on followers for support... Like folks in a lot of marginalized groups :/

@oluoluolu I just didn't want to discount all of mastodon due to being in a white bubble if that makes sense

@inherentlee yeah it defs does!

I'm sure there are clusters, I tried to find a few when i originally joined so hopefully they have grown and not left
