When you listen to The Verge's podcast and they're legitimately saying Mastodon is a "no girls allowed" club? And we don't want Facebook here because Instagram will bring women here?!

What the fuck is wrong with these American tech pundits? Mastodon is the gayest, transest, most feminine social network I've ever seen. There are so many more outspoken, smart, odd, and downright weird women here than I've ever seen on any other social network. It's fucking great.

@thomholwerda They are American tech pundits. That comes loaded with a ton of diversity-ignorant blogging-not-journalism echo chamber baggage.

@davidbcohen @thomholwerda just edited a book on AI by one. The white male bias was *thick*. I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he isn’t actually racist or sexist, just that it never occurred to him to think social issues through.
