@emmah @thomasfuchs I think both can be true.
Mastodon and fediverse seem to work great for a lot minorities as long as they’re also techies. Espescially white neurodivergent and/or queer people. Idk why. Less so from other minorities.
But not all marginalized people are techies! For a lot of them Twitter (despite it issues) provides them with a importabt support network that Mastodon just haven’t been able to provide them for a variety of reasons. We need to be sensetive to that too.
That’s where I maybe see some promise from Bluesky and the AT protocol. I want federated social for all, not only techies.
On the other hand: maybe we just need more userfriendly ActivityPub instances. Will be interesting to see happens Tumblr implements ActivityPub.
