it seems clear that there are less POC people on hexbear then there was before. what would you propose, and what do you think the issues are if any. i will be refraining from sharing my opinion for now to encourage more ideas.

white comrades are allowed to post emotes to boost this thread so more people can see it.

    Knee-jerkingly responded with “purge the white admins”. In serious tho having a space more overwhelmingly suited for POC, non white, or nonAmerican posting could help. But that feels like the solution for trans-inclusivity applied to a whole different problem.

    Piggybacking off of Pluto for a bit, if we can encourage nonEnglish posting, it’ll do more to make it inviting to anyone who doesnt speak english primarily. A few of us could use that kind of exposure to spaces where they’re not the dominate speakers

      yeah the solution is gonna have to be approached differently then for trans inclusive I agree. I think the non english comms is a very actionable idea!

        Either nonenglish comms, or allowing and encouraging nonenglish speaking in all comms
