it seems clear that there are less POC people on hexbear then there was before. what would you propose, and what do you think the issues are if any. i will be refraining from sharing my opinion for now to encourage more ideas.
white comrades are allowed to post emotes to boost this thread so more people can see it.
Yes, I’m Latino and at times I feel that (and this could be my imagination) my opinions or viewpoints aren’t as well-regarded or listened to.
I’m also half of one other thing, but I don’t want to be doxxed as its highly specific.
I also feel that at times (and this may not have much to do with the OP) this place can be a bit echo-chamber-y but, again, the things I can think of are a bit highly specific and definitely do not apply everywhere.
One problem is that this place basically “hails” from Reddit, it got its original membership from Reddit, and Reddit has a lot of white communists. We need more non-white or BIPOC communists, as Othello implied, I believe.
i definitely agree that certain veiwpoints are not met with open mindedness, this is definitely not your imagination. i do think the main issue is that we hail from reddit, but we have also lost many poc users since leaving reddit. we should try to determine why. thank you for your insight pluto, i always enjoy your input.
Of course, and thank you. We’ve hit it off since meeting each other and you’ve always been very polite to me.
Not only that, but it was a sub for a podcast whose hosts (and audience) are OVERWHELMINGLY white, despite being based in Brooklyn.
Right?!
