Well it sure does sound like Eugen exited for a measly €1M and Mastodon is left with the co-founder of Twitter in a leadership position. I mean, is it too much to ask for for the alternatives to not be run by the same people who built the things they purport to be an alternative to? I guess we should count ourselves lucky it’s not Elon Musk. 🤷♂️ http…

I went to the Australian Open tennis today to see Coco Gauff and Alex De Minaur ease their way into round 2. Gauff had problems with her serve and faced some spirited opposition from the unseeded Rakhimova.
Only blemish on the day was that I decided to remove my bicycle repair kit from the bike (bike parking was fairly crappy, stuck under a bridge) and that proved too much for the Security Theatre at bag check. I’m now down one very blunt multitool, which I asked the security people to…

Re: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.
