I know people of colour and other minority groups are still having a hard time here on Mastodon. As a white man there's nothing I can say that you're already saying much better, so all I do is boost those posts whenever I see them. Keep on speaking up. You must be heard.
What I will say is we want you here. We need you here. The ones who say they don't want you here are the ones who need you here the most.
If we don't have a #BlackMastodon all we have is a #WhiteElephant and nobody needs that.

I took that as meaning that everybody should have equal footing here on Mastodon with no prejudices based on race or gender. Neutral as in unbiased.

@ProjectFearlessness @rkd993 Neutrality isn't enough in an unjust world, unfortunately. When some people are overly privileged and others disadvantaged, a neutral platform favours the privileged. To create a diverse community you have to provide extra support for the most disadvantaged, and encourage the privileged to take a back seat.

@rkd993 @ProjectFearlessness What does that mean? You want to live in a beige world? Diversity is life.

@ProjectFearlessness #Mastodon must be colour neutral and gender neutral
It must be unlike #DodoLand
