@SallyStrange @HistoPol Ah thanks good catch. Will try to do better in future! Though I also want ppl to know there are others who will jump in so they don’t have to do all the work.

@yamainu
Thank you🦢
You did get my point: asking others not to judge people on the basis of your skin color while literally doing the same is, well, a bit akward.

I can see your plight. #QLoon, as I prefer to call #Elmo, did take away a lot from everyone by his hostile #takeover. I, for instance, loved that virtually every public figure could be addressed on the #BirdSite. Even the #MAGATs could not avoid being called out there.
This said, I...

...am afraid to say, happened all on purpose. This scorched-earth strategy is not the fallout of #QLoon's managerial incompetence.

He is in connection with all major authoritarian regimes: #Russia, #SaudiArabia, #China, and #Qatar. They all have a common goal, though different objectives: break #US hegemony and surpress the forces of #democracy. The #ArabSpring scared the hell out of them. It was enabled by #SocialMedia, #Twitter in...

...particular.

It is an open secret that #QLoon and most of the other #US #billionaires do not want to go back to the 20th century income-tax rates of 60 to 90, topped with a wealth tax at times.

#Reagonomics kept people in poverty, busy earning a living. Educated people do not tend to vote for the #GQP, which secures low tax rates for them.

I have written many threads citing the sources on the #BirdSite and on...

You don't need to believe me on my word. It is all there to see, though it requires thinking-out-of-the-box. I know, I had to do the research myself.

It is important to understand the way I think.

That said, I do understand your exasperation of losing your main distribution channel which had a strong representation of your target audience.

As explained, the #TwitterDiaspora, was intended. I am guessing...

...now, but I assume that it is until #QLoon's old #PayPal #JackDorsey, gets his "Twiiter 2.0" project (which over 50% of the subscribers want) #BlueSky running. Once it works, I would give it a 60-70% chance that the #BorgSite implodes within a few months, so that all remainers, purged of most "leftists" will move to #BlueSky.

What can you do to find new clients and grow your network?

As a starter, I'd diversify a bit...

...The generally well-minded people in the #Fediverse, who are mostly white so far, or #Asian, but using their own language for a big part, so you will not reach many of them.

As I explained in a yhread yesterday, #denazification worked *comparatively* well in Western #Europe. But #decolonialization is, in comparison to pre 2016 #USA, in its infancy. "#Diversity" is being embraced by #European companies, as they ran..

...out of white male skilled labor.
What I am saying: do not expect US circumstances on #Mastodon, most people are (still) not and have a very much different cultural background.

Now, of course, you do want to find #PoC. How?

Do marketing for the #Fediverse. #Mastodon will not suit everyone. But there is an alternative for the #corporate sites usually owned by #WASP #billionaires or #VC's.
I have linked to a beta site to ...

Also, people here are helpful and will help to build your own server (#instance), maybe as a 2nd step.

Marketing?
Ask prominent #BIPOC to embrace the #Fediverse. It will be the next big thing, which is also why another "frienfly" #billionaire is speeding ahead with project #Barcelona to hook the #Metas up with the #Fediverse.

...can go a long way, as well as, maybe a #rapper's song, a #meme, or even #StreetArt; like #grafitti, not unauthorized, pls ;)).
These are just some examples that I could think of right away, but it is your community, so you should know how to reach them.

As for me, I am trying to enlarge/rebuilt my diverse network, and have been making progress with indigenous people of North America (so far). I hope,...
