@FediTips I think there was a lot of racism here when the initial migration from twitter happened, when Elon bought it. And unfortunately, the only way to fix that is to have a diverse and representative group of developers and decision makers.

What probably won't work is a lot of white people voting on features. The trans community plays a big part in this community, in terms of it's development and direction which is great, but there is a gap there, if there is a lack of black voices.

@FediTips I think part of the reason people don't call others out here is out of fear of "creating a pile on". Which think in turn grows out of the idea that all conflict is "drama", and the person in the wrong is the one who causes the drama irrespective of the rights or wrongs of the situation and who the wronged party is

@FediTips Mastodon needs an intern possibilty to suggest and vote for such things
