For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon. 😎

This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.

For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.

Turtle Island Social

Native owned and operated for Native/Indigenous people and true Allies only. TurtleIsland.social is ad-free, corporate-free, bigotry-free, and culture respectful.

Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September.

First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon, the #fediverse, and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible.

We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it.
