Today is International Women's Day.
Heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful women in the fediverse, who help create it, maintain it, advance it, and use it.
May we all - especially men - continue to work towards, and behave to ensure, a fediverse that is safe, enjoyable, and useful for women everywhere.
Do you call out other men when they behave inappropriately to women? Do you push back publicly against misogynistic toots?
Are your own online interactions welcome and consensual? At the very least, do you check that your behaviour is not creepy / threatening / harassing, making women feel unsafe? It is simply unwelcome or unwanted.
Are you mansplaining? Sealioning? Well actually-ing?
Are you demanding free labour?
Are you boosting content which is harmful to women? Interacting with someone who espouses views which are harmful to women?
Can you, personally, do more to make the fediverse a wonderful experience for women? Even, perhaps especially, if that means reading and boosting, rather than replying.
Enthusiastic consent is sexy. For goodness' sake, if they want a photo of your penis, they will ask.
This is a Bonfire Federated social instance for those that enjoy gnarly adventures. Whether it's shredding mountains or slaying guitars, from action sports to art.
