so i saw this talk from 2022, and overall i like it. it's a philosophy of "why mastodon/the fediverse?" and points to a direction of what some people want this platform to look like, meaning its technical structure as well as its community, and largely feels a lot better when it's coming from an open source, decentralized, indie platform than like twitter in 2009 or whatever. one part has been rattling around my brain tho:
"[The fediverse is] probably the friendliest place on the internet when it comes to queer people. I do want to say that it leans left and tech heavy and so is friendly to white queer people. There are still issues with integration of people of color and the fediverse struggles with that. We're working on it- again, the best way to fix it is for people to join."
i guess i'm lacking context on who "we" is but it just feels a little weird ykwim?
