Here's an explainer why #groups (boost bots) are preferable to #hashtags for organizing a #group of people on #mastodon (or the #fediverse in general):
gist.github.com/hcschuetz/75ca
(in English and German; based on experience from the hangman-game group at @galgodon)

BTW: I've mentioned "a.gup.pe" (@guppegroups) in the text. Is anyone aware of alternatives that should be added?

To tell you the truth, I can't stand Mastodon, the instance I mean. The Mods are jerks. Fortunately, the beauty of the Fediverse is that you can choose a different instance or create your very own. Also, you can use various apps to access it.

PS: Please bear in mind that the Fediverse isn't just a wannabe Facebook or Twitter. It can be anything you want it to be, including a place to host videos and photos.

I think the same problem with representation among #Wikipedia entries is pervasive among #FOSS projects as well - including the #Fediverse :

Contributions are done by those who have sufficient free time to work on such projects, which usually means having a stable, comfortable existence. Thus, the majority of contrirbutors tend to be white men - and they bring their own biases with them.

This is a problem - while the concept of the Fediverse is great, our user base is not very diverse. #Twitter in the old days blew the Fediverse out if the water, in this regard at least.

We need to include a lot more different people for the development of the Fediverse, from all over the world, instread of the crowd if largely white Europeans and North Americans we have now. Yet how can we include them, if the expectation is that the contributors should work for free - something much harder to do if you _don't_ have a stable source of income and a job that gives you sufficient free time?

Sauropods.winmyrmepropagandist (@futurebird@sauropods.win)Everything wrong with the Wikipedia is something that is just generally wrong with working with humans. My experience with the Wikipedia included being harassed white nationalists because I edited their creepy "Race and IQ" article. A very ugly experience. I did not feel supported or protected by "the wikipedia community" -- Despite this, I STILL think it's one of the best resources on the internet. That Mr. Musk wants to destroy it only makes me more confident this is correct.

Just as it was getting light this morning, I stood and had a good look at my naked body in the mirror, something I avoid doing since I got older. Tomorrow, I doubt I'll have time, so today I wanted to say a fond farewell to the part of my breast that will be removed.
I noticed the old scars, the love handles and the bumps and stretches that came from carrying three children, and from simply living. My body isn't perfect, not by any stretch, but it's mine. It tells a story. The lines, the marks, the wear and tear, they speak of love, loss, laughter, survival. I’ve got some metal bits but I’m far from bionic, and after tomorrow I’ll have more changes to carry. But I’ll still be here.
I looked at the story written on my body, the outward marks of love, happiness, pain and sadness and thought: Oh bugger it, go get some breakfast.
