Comm request: /c/globalhexbears (hexbear.net)

I'm requesting this comm as a space to highlight comrades on this website who have a variety of typically (in the wider world) ignored perspectives.

Even on this website, I sometimes see people assume that all (or close to all) of the users are white, or westerners, or American. We have a hugely diverse user base from around the world, and I think that's a strength of this site. I'd like this comm to be a place where these perspectives are highlighted and amplified, but not a space exclusive to these users. Anyone can participate.

I want to emphasize that the idea isn't a comm for people from the "3rd world", but rather a comm where the specific subject is diverse perspectives, and those are highlighted and discussed.

Could we use !internationale@hexbear.net for this?

That looks like it might fit! It would have to be changed to not be a strictly non-English comm, many comrades who would be interested in the things I'm targeting with my request would still speak mainly English, plus (as I said) it would be good to have a space that highlights global perspectives but isn't exclusive to those users.
