@soyluisosorio yep. Here too....LOL

I understand that you may not want to moderate abuse. But that's just absolving yourself of responsibility.

If you're going to let your instance be open for all registrations, then that means moderating for everyone who joins—especially for people targeted for abuse.

Don't want to moderate? Then close registrations to your instance.

I wonder if #mastodon is capable of bringing back high-value AMAs with industry leaders and influencers? or even other folks that are leading the charge for #socialimpact #democracy #communitydevelopment? seems like #mastodon is built to create #grassroots efforts

Another article on burnout. I’ve heard this fact before and it haunts me:

"A 2010 study found that Black women are “7.5 years biologically ‘older’ than white women” due to the stress levels they face.
“If I succeed and push myself harder,” Tiana Clark has written about Black burnout, “I will increase my chances of fraying at the seams on a cellular level.”

I do not negotiate about the safety of Black and Brown folks on the web.

Period.

@majorlinux I never could get into that platform.

@majorlinux whenever I used to log in the options in my home feed were either crypto, Wack100 conflict, High Value Man/Kevin Samuels stuff, or black man vs. black women hot takes. There were others but they were a bit controversial. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@KaleGirl08 yes. If they are more into verbal conversation than writing. Makes sense!

Random thought: Do people still use #clubhouse? Was it hype?

From July 2011,

@anildash's wise counsel :

"You should make a budget that supports having a good community,

... Every single person who’s going to object to these ideas is going to talk about how they can’t afford to hire a community manager,

Or how it’s so expensive to develop good tools for managing comments.

Okay,

Then save money by turning off your web server.

Or enjoy your city where you presumably don’t want to pay for police because they’re so expensive."

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

I'm telling myself...no I will not purchase anything from #Appsumo this black Friday. 😶
