Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there’s a viable alternative – the fediverse isn’t growing.1 One reason why: today’s fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities. ‌

    Say you don’t understand the fediverse without saying you don’t understand the fediverse.

    By these standards:

    • The web is unsafe by default
    • Email is unsafe by default

    In all three cases, your safety is determined by the home you choose, and who/what you choose to interact with.
