@wobbleydog Welcome to the #WhiteElephant app 😁🎉🎊

I know people of colour and other minority groups are still having a hard time here on Mastodon. As a white man there's nothing I can say that you're already saying much better, so all I do is boost those posts whenever I see them. Keep on speaking up. You must be heard.

What I will say is we want you here. We need you here. The ones who say they don't want you here are the ones who need you here the most.

If we don't have a #BlackMastodon all we have is a #WhiteElephant and nobody needs that.

One reason I love the #WhiteElephant app is WE are the author of our tooting and WE should be responsible for our tooting.

So, IF you want to upload some pictures that may cause people to react with "a disgusted face" like this 🤢, you can tick the box "Mark media as sensitive" before you toot OR add some additional information "Media containing information sensitive to some people".

VERY easy, right?

Our SMARTPHONE is controlled by SMART BRAIN and FINGERS, not a zombie.

@chris888 Welcome to the #WhiteElephant app 🎊🎉

@Lazyb5 Feeling sad to know that, but WELCOME to the #WhiteElephant app 👋

@Brownfists I still use both and learn how to use and understand the #WhiteElephant app. But, people here always help, I think.

@StuDavies Welcome to the new world aka #WhiteElephant 🐘

I still use my Twitter and I meet many new people here. They are so COOL 😎

"This is overlooked by Mastodonians who argue that the influx of new users will bring changes to the platforms. If you have an influx of new users and then you punish them for being themselves or trying to figure out ways to be themselves on the platform, then you will disincentivize users from recommending transformation or changes in the platform, even in open source platforms. They simply will not want to engage."

"Together we can make Mastodon safe and welcoming. Pretending there's no racialised abuse and harmful white fragility is not the answer."
