There is a fundamental disconnect here in the Fediverse. Folks who are not in the “white cis-het men” club are showing up daily with receipts demonstrating ongoing harassment. And many of them have concrete, actionable suggestions for making things better. And they are being ignored or gaslit.
Personally, I want the Fedi to be a safe space for all of these voices. If the current groups working on development are failing in their duty to these communities, then we need a new group of developers charged with implementing towards what is needed. And that will likely take funding.
We need to start listening and centering the concerns of these marginalized groups. And we need to give them the opportunity and resources necessary to take the lead on creating solutions.
