@evan Hi, I’m writing as a Canadian in the US, and as a mixed race gal. I am not likely to be part of the project since I’m not in Canada (and I love my server, not moving)…

Instead, I’m sharing a friendly Canadian critique of what I understand of your project, in the form of questions back to you:

1. What is your goal with this?
2. Who do you already have on board with this goal, and rather than generally look for #BIPOC folks, whose specific focus and skill are you looking for? What is the talent you seek?
3. Why do you want to do this, and why do you want to recruit help? Why do you want to achieve this goal (see #1)?
4. If you gain your desired base, how will this advance your goal, and what would you like to see happen next?
5. What about being Canadian makes your work in this arena unique in the fediverse? That could be a strength in expanding.
6. Is there another existing group that you could join, to help amplify their work, rather than create something from scratch?
7. After answering all these questions, go back to #1 - is your goal still the same?

Good luck!
