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. ‌

Keeping society enjoyable/safe/functional/etc is hard work by design. That's just the way humanity is. Sucks it has to be this way, but we're fundamentally flawed.

You patch one hole in your defenses against destabilization and another one will spring up eventually. It's always a work in progress.
