What I see most of in #webdev and #design is #classism #racism #ableism with improvements in #gender and #genderdiversity - rarely, #ageism

@mholzschlag too many class & race divides. It's a shame some in the industry feel it's in their best interest to enforce that divide

@absalomedia Do you feel there are factions in our industry that with intent aforethought enforce such divides? If so, how tragic.

@mholzschlag not factions as such. More a minority aim to profiteer from the divide

@absalomedia I'm not sure I follow. Hypothetical example? Or real one if you have a story you feel comfortable sharing!

@mholzschlag e.g the rise & fall of @amystephen across open source, feminist tech, who now promotes 14/88 & other fascism openly

@absalomedia this is why I used the term advocate. Not evangelist. It's a desire to work toward better. True diversity requires inclusivity!

@mholzschlag I like that. Evangelism can create distorted investment to return outcomes/burnout. I'm a bit more nuanced. Agnostic ally

@absalomedia To me it's become extremly clear. This is why I've dropped the dotcom and the term "evangelist" - inclusivity, not exclusivity!
