#nowplaying on the African Music Forum: Oumou Sangaré – Saa Magni https://buff.ly/3emUrXu
@cybeardjm Would anyone on there like to join here too ?
@cybeardjm You mentioned the African music forum so i just asked if anyone on there may be interested in joining here.
@zleap You mean join Mastodon from Africa?
That's a complex problem... Most people are not at the "decentralization" level yet... FB, Whasapp and Twitter are the most used apps.
@cybeardjm Good point, so fare my e-mail telling the local diversity group about the discourse forum and the topic on diversity has gone unanswered, they complain about lack of inclusion / diversity but then ignore attempts to reach out and include people.
@zleap
Bread or key to freedom dilemma...
(image can be understood through multiple lenses - is he locked or out?)
@cybeardjm Could be either. Reminds me of the picture of a 1/2 filled glass in the Daily mail, apparently they can work out your mental health status if you say it is 1/2 full or 1/2 empty, I wonder what they would say to answer c , the class is 1/2 full of liquid and 1/2 full of air. :D
@zleap In most African countries I know, most people are (still) struggling to make ends meet, putting food on the table everyday etc. Diversity, ecology, human rights, democracy, climate change... are not in people's minds (yet, if ever). Ofc, there are a few scholars, a few local NGOs (not Int'l ones, quite another problem) trying to have people move up the ladder of consciousness... Then add rampant illiteracy, no access to books or just regular information...
There's a lot of work to do on the ground... High level projects need a stable foundation or a revolution... It's unfortunate, but don't see any other way to go...
