In response to legitimate critiques about academia’s #whiteflight to Mastodon, how are we reflecting on our decision to jump here or add this platform to our repertoire?
Ie #histodons @histodons @histodons - which is a great list - was largely white the last time I checked.
Cishet white people have the least to lose when resisting M*sk and fascism in general. How do we keep supporting more minoritized folks?
@JohannaMellis @histodons It's really noticeable to me today -- I just checked my Twitter feed, and it is almost exclusively tweets from Black or non-male people. To me, this is the reason I need to be checking both sites and cross-posting. It didn't take long for a significant fraction of White & Asian scientists I followed to move over here (I think it happened like yesterday??), so I hope we can all be in one place again. Until then, I will be in both! Not helping that my crossposting software isn't working...
