Notice: I am NOT suggesting non-Indigenous, non-BIPOC people post with most of these hashtags. Follow, ally, educate yourself, etc. but don’t appropriate is always good advice for allies.

Using and following hashtags are a critical part of the Fediverse experience. This is a list of the hashtags I recommend all Indigenous people use and follow.

#BlackMastodon

#Decolonization

Been busy working on this NGINX web server. Its been running great so far, much much better than Apache. So glad to be getting rid of racist jerks Apache Software Foundation products.

#ChangeTheName #Apache

Used Apache since sometime in the 2nd half of the 1990's. I had to compile it myself...

@rawchili worthless because it’s racist and contributes to ongoing genocide of indigenous peoples. honestly, this pic should be packaged with a content warning because it’s derogatory. I’m lifelong Kansas City Football fan, but gross that we haven’t changed the name. #ChangeTheName Start asking what KC football should be called instead, #KansasCityBurntEnds ?

@rawchili #ChangeTheName

When it comes to alot of these archive type post,I've had to pull up sources in convo with others regarding convos that involve topics of colonialism. When it came to #changethename I've had folks that revered Abraham Lincoln that had no idea about #Dakota38. While stubborn they thanked me later for educating.

@KweVictoria

I have to say, my #indigenous family is pretty bothered by the perpetuation of #Native mascots. My father-in-law is a pretty big sports fan, he also plays and makes traditional sticks for #TheCreatorsGame #LAX but this mascot thing has overshadowed his enjoyment of the sport.

Last year, I forget the sport event, I was told my messaging was too harsh to be effective. I'm like so if a truth message isn't soft and cuddly enough for you, you're gonna use that as an excuse to be racist?

I reject 100% the idea that message delivery holds responsibility for what white people decide to do with receipt of the knowledge.

My Super Bowl posts are very unpopular on my Facebook profile, with only Native acknowledgement, and dead silence from white people. I'm gonna guess I will hear very little about football the next couple days. White people will watch it, but secretly is my guess.

#NFL #SuperBowl #Chiefs #KansasCity #StopTheChop #NotYourMascot #ChangeTheName #Native #Indigenous

Here’s your #SuperBowl reminder that #psychology research has shown #Native mascots and associated sports imagery to be damaging to the social identity development and self-esteem of #NativeAmerican young people especially. So your personal opinion on whether #Kansas City staying the “#Chiefs” is racist or not does not matter, whether you’re white or #Indigenous. It’s about creating a better world for the next generation. #StopTheChop and #ChangeTheName! Petition here: https://kcindiancenter.org

What's this have to do with the Super Bowl? It's a proven medical and scientific fact that sports mascotry contributes all kinds of mental health issues especially in Native youth, including suicide. Educate yourself if you don't believe me.

A lot of supposedly #AntiRacist Progressives wouldn't be caught dead watching on TV or at a live event with Blackface, afro-wigs and spears have zero problems watching on TV or at a live event with Redface, headresses and tomahawks... #JustSayin

Franchises like the Kansas City football team dehumanize Native peoples while encouraging racist behavior in stadiums, schools and on social media. Kansas City and the NFL continue to allow—and reap major profits from—the blatant racism of the team’s very name, logo and behavior like “the tomahawk chop.”

Recognizing #httr chant was racist and written by a billionaire estate who owes reparations to Oceti people, I recognize the tomahawk chop as a hateful gimmick of corporations. Keep this in mind with #dechief and current efforts of #changethename. https://www.patreon.com/posts/jan-15-2014-fil-70387276

"Side note: Ivory is a bad name for an app that features an elephant mascot. This is one of those names that we reckon will be changed within a week.

Naming snafu aside, Ivory is pretty great."

Sums it up pretty well! #changethename #ivory

I hope the Apache Software Foundation takes the time to listen and understand the concerns of cultural appropriation that are being raised and changes their name: https://blog.nativesintech.org/apache-appropriation/ Let's strive for a more inclusive and respectful future. #ChangeTheName
