The Whiteness of Mastodon (worth the read) 

@mguhlin @mathlover
>>One question i have is, “How diverse are admins and moderators?”
<< Don't know. Never met any in person. There's not any kind of record of 'who's a fediverse admin, what's your demographics?' list

>>Another is, “Is there a record of success and failure for incidents of inclusion and exclusion?”
<<For instances or users? For instances, i don't think anyone keeps records. For users, you'd have to ask each server's admins(good luck with that) and see if they happenstance recorded anything like thaat.

>>I don’t know if those are even the right questions.
<<Easier for me to respond to than the wall of text :)

@mguhlin
I had a response to the article provided. But over time it made me more exhausted to constantly correct/explain everything.

I'll just add this unless you have something specific you'd like to ask:::
>>"So the first thing that I want to make clear is that Mastodon has a history of being inhospitable to marginalized users. This history is born out, as I’ve learned, through the marginalization and eventual shuttering of instances of color, of instances that were dedicated to hosting and supporting sex workers, of harassment of disabled users and so on. "
<< Switter had nothing to do with other admins or any kind of fediverse harassment; it had to do with local legislation. More details here::

A lot of things happened in China recently, which were completely beyond my expectation. ​But it is worth noting that only the people in Sichuan are fighting for freedom, and the others are nothing more than survival.

​As for whether China will be the same as before when I wake up tomorrow, I don't know. But we (part of us) have seen the light, may we remember the warmth of the light and drive away the darkness.

​At least, those who collect firewood for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow.

最近在中国发生了好多事情,完全出乎了我的意料。​但值得注意的是,唯有那四川人是为自由,其他的无非是为了生存、苟活。

​至于明天醒来之后,中国是不是还会和以往一样,太平盛世,这我不好说。但我们(中的一部分)已然看到了光,愿我们能够记得光的温暖,驱散黑暗。

​至少,为众人抱薪者,不可使其冻毙于风雪。

I know you didn't ask me, but that was very heavily biased and does not get all of the details it covers correctly.

Imo, a lot of it could have been paraphrased to make for an easier read as well.

Today I ate more pie than days I've worked this week...

Sounds like
1) kids
2) pets
3) people addicted to junk food

@admitsWrongIfProven

This was in reference to politics - and you made what I perceived to be a pun, so I returned the favor.

@mathlover @Pat @Romaq
Yep. Old Fediverse drama that's coming up again now that Mastodon is gaining popularity.

Had the influx not occurred - it probably wouldn't happen again so soon.

“While Light, Life, and Love are part of all that we naturally see and experience, they are veiled or hidden by our attention to the material and the mundane... For although Light, Life, and Love are obscured, in removing the veil, a realization dawns that Love, for example, gives birth to all that is good and renders purpose to that which is named “Beauty.” Love is boundless and eternal, and it assures continuity in the expression of all experiences.”

-Dr. Lonnie Edwards
