It'll take a bit of time. It wasn't so long ago that the fediverse had a reputation of being hostile to black people. That's not so much the case any more and we're seeing more non white communities. With added diversity, we're starting to see more voices, plus with posting activity going up, people aren't able to camp ALL as much, so we're not seeing things downvoted just because something doesn't fit someone's idea of perfection. It's sad that when you try and explain to people the wider consequences of downvoting things they're not apart of, they get upset and get defensive. But things are growing organically. I mean I'm even seeing you in various different threads more and that makes me happy.
