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.

    but there should be more posting and education about 3rd world liberation struggles. More emphasis, nuance, care about and for the Black and Brown world. What’s that, you don’t know anything about that? All the more reason to educate ourselves.

    I've been trying to make the news megathreads more of an environment for this kind of thing. I've seen feedback that it's a great place for non-Americans to hang out and talk about what's going on outside of America and it's really heartwarming. Obviously at a certain point if all we did was history-posting then it wouldn't a "news" megathread but having historical context is simply very necessary to be able to talk about current-day issues, e.g. we have a great user @LargePenis@hexbear.net whose posts we all love to see, who talks about Syria and Lebanon and other places in the region, and the impact of the Syrian War and how that's affected the region today and geopolitical struggles between Iran and the Zionist entity, and so on.
