@spiderrobotpig because the "default" is to assume someone is a cishet white male it's easy to assume that no marginalized groups are involved but the Mastodon development team is full of trans women, gay people, and disabled people. Also lotsa cis women now too.

it's still majority white... but past that we are diverse in other ways. It's an open source project and anyone can help out. Of course uncompensated labor is not ideal though... but it's not in our means to fix that rn.
