For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a https://TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon.
This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.
For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.
@Yehuda @Tzipporah I’m afraid I’ve no pull with the schmuck(s) involved with those decisions, but I hope you’ll enjoy this personalized happy birthday message.
Mazel tov, alter-kacker.

And to be ultra clear, when I say #Mastodon or Mastodon world, I'm talking about the Mastodon organization.The #Fediverse and the people on #Mastodon instances are amazingly great people. The org Mastodon is deep in #SystemicRacism #WhiteSupremacy
The org could easily go oops our bad, sorry and fix it pronto before it goes to the next level. But they won't even answer an email. They are a social media organization and they ignore hundreds and hundreds of boosts.
#Native #Indigenous #BIPOC@Yehuda Sorry to ask, but could you spell out the fix you're asking for?

I'm writing followup posts on our Patreon too. I strongly encourage EVERYONE to grab a free subscription there to keep abreast of new posts on this subject. In the meantime:https://TurtleIsland.social is invisible to Mastodon
It's time to make Mastodon friendly to non-white cultures
Mastodon gGmbH needs to lead this - list TurtleIsland.social and create an Indigenous category.
Mvto! (Thanks!)

Sometimes you do a controlled burnColonialism doesn't just steal land, it steals everything, including equality on social media networks - racism keeps it that way

@Yehuda
Wondering if we can get @haubles and/or @andypiper to give a read to this thread
️ and address this -
@Yehuda honestly i dont know whats more weird here, that there is only 1 sports instance or that they went out of their way to make a category for 1 sports instance while a bunch of other stuff seems missing
(not just bipoc, but like where are the plural servers? where are the anarchist servers? those three make up like half of fedi?)

Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September.
First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible.
We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it.
I am sorry we haven’t done this yet. We are working on it, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me to check in on progress. You can email me too: hannah[@]joinmastodon.org.
If you want to hear more, here is the talk where we announced the first experiment and shared more info about Server Directory (we will publish a blog post soon too). The relevant sections start at around 10:50.

Happy birthday, friend
