@MishaVelthuis Maybe offering cheap/free hosting space outside #India would be an idea, because of the repressive climate under Modi.

@MishaVelthuis There is one in #Bihar, but of a population of 130 million people, there's only one active. What is actually very sad. 😢

Yes, how is this possible...

I guess there are many answers to that question. You're right of course that this should first and foremost be taken up by people in India, but I wonder what the *current* Fediverse can do to help...

@MishaVelthuis Another issue, is that Mastodon is only for 13% translated to #Hindi, 15% to #Tamil, 10% #Punjabi, and 5% to #Marathi. Just to name a few. Of course a lot of people can read English but using Mastodon in their mother tongue is a plus. #India has a large diaspora, so maybe those people can be of use?
