Over on #birdsite, our Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti is livetweeting from the Aztec Theater in #SanAntonio, where people have gathered to protect a #drag show from members of This Is Texas Freedom Force, a far-right militia hate group, and other bigots: https://nitter.net/stevanzetti

Steven reports supporters of #LGBTQ+ folks far outnumber the opposition.

People on the other site keep telling me that Mastodon is just an echo chamber... which... is not at all how I'm experiencing it. Lots of people seem willing to disagree with me and make their disagreements clear.

They just don't suggest that I don't deserve to live when they do. And that seems healthier.

Dear white people:

Whenever you see someone who is #BIPOC speak up about the lack of #diversity on Mastodon... You don't need to give your opinion, you don't need to correct them about their own experience, you don't need to highlight the wonders of the fediverse. Just don't.

Instead, please listen to what they say, and remember that reach here is mediated by boosts, so instead of telling them to invite more people over—or to become Mastodon leaders of their community...

... Just boost them

Make a conscious effort to follow people who are #BIPOC and boost their posts.

Boost posts by non-white marginalized communities so you can help their voices reach farther.

Tears in my eyes.

Yuriy Husak from Dubno killed defending Ukraine in Bakhmut on December 6. Buried in Dubno today. The whole city came to honor the memory of the fallen soldier.
