Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍 
On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.
Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.
If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.
You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.
Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.
Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨

Oooo and maybe a reach or maybe not the time. I wonder about some sort of database matchmaker thing to help spoonies find local connections. For roommates, friendship, peer support
Hrm anybody really, could be used as a digital platform to help build meatspace connections from the fedi-sphere. It's hard for any adults to make new friends - especially hard for men, autistics, disabled... All the social outliers who find a home on fedi. Help us find meatspace fedi friends.
Hey #fediFriends
Is there interest in monthly support crowdfunding @hosford42 to work on building a matchmaking platform for folks to find local connections of the fediverse community?
An interface to find #meatspaceFediFriends basically.
This is a brand new idea as per:

What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:
• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies

If someone says it's your job as a person with privilege to dismantle systems of oppression, instead of panicking and getting defensive, you can do one or both things
1. You can just say "I don't know how to do that." Seriously. I think so much of these lame ass comments are because people panic and get defensive. And instead of just being honest, they try to intellectualize their way out of the anxiety.
2. Literally go google "black activist authors" or "queer activist authors" and learn.
I've been really weighing the pros and cons of just being on the #Fediverse and not corporate social media.
I like to write about tech and social justice. But I'm discovering it's probably easier to write about the dangers of big tech to a non-techie audience on BlueSky or Substack than it is to convince a Mastodonian that systemic oppression exists. The former also just far more delightful
The absence of POCs here is just so heavy sometimes. It makes me question what am I actually supporting?
