We talk a lot about the culture of the fedi and hand wring a lot about how to get Black and Brown folks back here, but you know what could be a big step forward?

Normalizing the fulfillment of mutual aid.

The fedi’s rep isn’t great right now for a few reasons, but imagine if the fediverse specifically made it a point to start clearing every mutual aid effort it sees for marginalized groups and not just white guys.

It’s a small thing, but it’s something that separate this space from everywhere else.

Committing to that intention would get people’s attention.
