I'd say: follow Black folks who are active in the fediverse, lift up their voices, report any harassment you see in their replies.
Make the people who are already here feel welcome, they'll do the rest.

letter to Minister Hajdu—
The gov’t’s abuse of Section 107 of the Labour Code tramples Charter rights to fair bargaining. It’s time to REPEAL it. #WorkersRights
Loopholes that let big corporate bosses exploit workers must be CLOSED. No more siding with billionaires over workers. mark.carney@parl.gc.ca

This fish magnet design keeps on being a bit of a complicated one!
It went through several design changes and I just realised that adding a mini magnet to it was important for stability since it’s tail is so heavy 😅
It should be good now! And I still love it!

So why do we keep a non-feature around that, at best, is used as a Pavlovian reflex to note that "check, I read this"?
To some degree I'd argue the favorite button is pacifying to the point of replacing actual response. Instead of replying with a single sentence or even an emoji, it encourages you to scroll and like, scroll and like.
It seems counteractive to the social interaction that the #fediverse highlights, compared to Those Other Platforms. But what do I know.

Inspired by a convo on another instance, could any #mastodon savvy folk clear up something I've been wondering about: Favorites/likes/⭐... they don't actually serve a purpose apart from notifying whoever wrote the toot you starred, right?
On the olden attention economy platforms, as I understand them, a post's number of likes could decide its placement in a feed. To my knowledge Mastodon (and I believe most other #fediverse) platforms don't weight posts this way.

I was experimenting with an idea of making a FOSS Fediverse group type system, but as the UK Government is now hostile to any tech that isn't profitable enough to have its own lobbyists, to the point where I wouldn't feel comfortable running it myself, I'm going to have to look into other projects that won't leave me open to so much potential liability.
