While anti-Blackness isn't the only diversity and equity problem to be concerned about, it's gotten enough attention that it's worth focusing on. Of course it's not just SWICG; at the end of FediForum I mentioned the fediverse’s long-standing issues related to anti-Blackness (and how FediForum itself had only addressed one of the five bullets from the discussion at a September 2023 session). That said, it's an issue within SWICG too -- and within SocialHub, which as part of activitypub.rocks is now within SWICG's purview. So: * what are people currently doing to make progress on this? * what else should be done? I also kicked of a thread on SocialHub - https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/how-to-make-progress-on-the-almost-complete-absence-of-black-people-in-socialhub-and-swicg-discussions/4533 jon PS: 5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people <https://privacy.thenexus.today/start-making-the-fediverse-less-toxic/> has suggestions for what people can do as individuals, and hopefully everybody here is already doing that ... but systems have power and equity dynamics as well, which is more what I'm trying to get at with these discussions
