Open Social Web / fediverse folks: with Elon Musk's fight with the Brazilian government likely to result in X being down in Brazil, there's an opportunity to invite more folks to the fediverse.

Is anyone working on plans to recruit and welcome people here, while ensuring their safety & quality of community? It's an obvious opportunity that can be planned for.

In general, I think the open social web could benefit a lot from marketing & recruitment.

All successful, sustaining communities depend on efforts to recruit, support, and retain newcomers, yet it often seems like the Wikimedia Foundation is the main/only big open network that has prioritized this. I would gladly donate to support more work recruiting/supporting newcomers if I knew how to give.

@natematias Excuse me, are you talking about contributors onboarding? h-i.works is developing a glitch-soc fork aiming for "a transparent code contribution process".
Let's look at a high-level overview of Awujo's goals.

• Implement better safety tools and expand the moderation experience
• Align the front-end experience with modern accessibility standards
• Reduce technical bloat to increase performance and stability
• Simplify setup and maintenance
• Define a transparent code contribution process
• Create a stable pathway for current Mastodon instances to migrate to Awujo

@oceane thanks! I'm talking about new users of the platforms onboarding. But it's also cool to see this initiative!
