I have huge respect for everyone contributing to the Fediverse: the larger-than-life architects like @cwebber@social.coop @evan@cosocial.ca (without whom we would literally all not be here), implementers like @dansup@mastodon.social bringing photo & video to it, new projects like @newsmast@backend.newsmast.org @michael@backend.newsmast.org @FreddieJ@backend.newsmast.org @saskia@backend.newsmast.org @bonfire@indieweb.social @ivan @mayel orgs like @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mike@flipboard.com @john @ghost @activitypub.blog @pfefferle@mastodon.social bringing the media over to the Fediverse, and @rileytestut@mastodon.social @altstore@fosstodon.org for trying out completely new things.

Many of us would also not be here if it weren’t for patient and forward thinking people in media and civil society like @Sarahp@mastodon.social @laurenshof@indieweb.social @leonido@chaos.social @janboehm@edi.social @markus_netzpolitik@chaos.social @samvie@chaos.social @Sascha@bonn.social @melaniebartos@chaos.social (7/13)

@mellifluousbox@mastodon.social I can’t believe you’re still bringing Threads in your thanks. (Also that’s a lot of CEOs there.)

@mellifluousbox@mastodon.social Can I make a note of how pretty much all the people you seem to want to work with and posit as heroes are white, and that one of them is notorious for lashing out doing racist and transphobic abuse? There is a lot of people here doing anti racist work and working on improving moderation and they don't even seem to be showing up on your radar. You have some work to do.
