Even if you think they are wrong. Hey, we all grow, I am definitely not the person I was even a year ago; hopefully I'm continually learning. We're all #Allies to someone... or hopefully.

I can easily critique my own viewpoints and knowledge about other cultures/ethnicities over time. I know my #Mvskoke and #Jewish cultures/histories to a degree likely beyond others, and neither of those are monolithic, but these are internal discussions, not for others.

WTF people, just as a most basic principle of being an #Ally - when people are xyz culture/ethnicity or whatever and you are not - do not explain their culture, ethnicity, history or anything to them.

I've seen a few examples in recent comments that really boggle the mind. These are racist aggressions, very unhelpful.

No one has the bandwidth to school one by one every example of racist nonsense that comes along, maybe an ally can take that labor when they see it.

For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a https://TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon. 😎

This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.

For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.

Check out the topics on Join Mastodon.

Imagine this - I'm talking about #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC People. In #Mastodon world, all Black People, all Indigenous People, all People of Color - THE GLOBAL MAJORITY of human beings on the planet are less important than Sports and one sports instance. Just keep going through the topics, don't make me compare any others...

Shame on you Mastodon.
