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.
I see some users here asking for more non-english posting, and I think that would be cool. An easy way to encourage that is to just start making one non-english post a day. The post doesn’t have to be about language at all, but mere presence helps a lot with creating culture.
Well, in Lemmygrad, they have specific non-english communities, one for Lusophone socialists, Hispanophone socialists, Polish socialists, heck, they even have communities for aid in learning such languages
I think we have such comms here too, or at least comms that heavily encourage non-english language. The issue is that people don’t really use them. It’s not so much an issue of lacking a space, moreso of “feeling you can take the space” and also “feeling like there is a reason to take the space”.
Well, Idk about that… as far as I can tell in Lemmygrad’s case, the non-English comms are more or less based towards countries, from which significant minority are from…
For example, “Community for Polish Communists” generally accepts content concerning Poland, whether it be memes or news… however, like the rest of Lemmygrad, it doesn’t have much content…
So I guess, take notes from your demographics, and maybe the management of Lemmygrad in regards to this issue…
Probably first, by finding out what is the majority-language of the bilingual people in Hexbear…
Well, there’s like five of us.
Wait, 5 Polish people in Hexbear?
Hexbear / Lemmygrad
One of whom is me. (even though I live in Germany)
