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. I am open to ideas about integrating this principle in other comms too, if anyone has any good, specific ones. "RETVRN TO MAIN"-heads reply under this comment.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.
