Just the other day I was thinking how much the presence of POC are missed on this platform. And then I scroll the comments of a post talking about systemic oppression and I'm reminded why #Mastodon is 99% white.
How is it that so many of you are expert coders but haven't read a single book by an activist? How is it that you haven't accidentally come across even a quote to spark curiosity?
This is especially concerning for Americans. We're facing fascism and still at "I don't see color"

I stick around on the Fediverse because I believe that, among all social media systems, this one actually has the chance of getting better in the long run. But there is unfortunately a lot of White Privilege around here that people need to acknowledge.
I also frequently say that the Fediverse needs to grow - and it needs to grow more diverse most of all.
