Dear writers & readers:-

I just made a Guppe group called
@indigenousauthors

Search that address, and then follow.

Guppes are non-moderated decentralized fediverse social groups. They don't follow, they just auto-boost.

To boost your relevant posts, add @IndigenousAuthors (use the full address @ indigenousauthors@a.gup.pe or click on it when it appears as a suggestion)

I've created it so Indigenous / Aboriginal / Pasifika / First Nations and other First Peoples can promote their books and themselves. And to network, talk about their writing process, get support from other Indigenous writers, or more.

Respectfully, I ask non-Indigenous people to consider how, why and when they use this @ to boost their own toots.

If you aren't Indigenous, I'd suggest using it to share and promote your favourite Indigenous-authored books.

And not for sharing books about Indigenous peoples, cultures, knowledges, issues, politics etc that have been written by non-Indigenous authors or academics.

Thanks, and enjoy

(PS apologies for lower case I in Indigenous, and lack of - Guppe coding changed how I wrote it. Using Camel Case in your toots should work. And in so-called Australia, we capitalise Indigenous and Aboriginal)
