#deib — Public Fediverse posts

Recently I've been in touch with many students. Many of them used the pronouns he/him while referring to a manager/leader (not a specific one, but while talking about the role itself). It happened only to students using he/him themselves though.

Whenever it happened, I immediately added further possible pronouns for the roles.

Some of those students - quite puzzled - did not understand my corrections and followed up with a question on what do I actually mean.

If you are still looking for an idea how to celebrate the #iwd2026 this post is for you.

Just ask your male colleagues tomorrow how do they actually manage to combine household, care work and career.

Looking forward to the answers.

Why do we have such a gender imbalance at #fosdem & in tech in general?

A real conversation.

Marty: Maria, what do you think about ABC?
Peter: I don't want to speak for Maria, but... (keeps talking for a few minutes).
Anna: Thank you for sharing your perspective, Peter, but I would love to hear Maria's perspective.

If you observe someone dominating a discussion and answering questions that aren't directed at them, please be an ally and moderate the conversation in an inclusive way🧡

On August 10, 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg #RBG becomes the second woman to serve on the US Supreme Court.

Ginsburg herself experienced how tough it could be for working mothers. She lost her job as a typist when she became pregnant with her daughter. This firsthand knowledge of workplace discrimination against pregnant women and mothers would later inform her groundbreaking legal work advocating for gender equality and women's rights in the workplace.

I love and appreciate community events such as #Fosdem, but it makes me sad to see the gender imbalance in #foss tech. I'm aware of the issue, but being at such a large-scale event makes it very tangible and visible.

„Besonders perfide ist dabei, dass einige Führungskräfte diesen Rückschritt als Befreiung verkaufen. Frei von angeblicher „Cancel Culture“, frei von „ideologischen Zwängen“. Doch wovon sprechen wir eigentlich, wenn Freiheit bedeutet, wieder ungehindert ausschließen zu dürfen? Wer heute #DEIB zurückfährt, entscheidet sich nicht für Neutralität, sondern für Rückschritt.“

Great article on the dual nature of outsider #innovation and its implications.

“How can organizations remain open to the fresh perspectives that outsiders bring? The challenge lies not only in identifying original thinkers but also in empowering them - amplifying their voices, supporting their efforts, and fostering environments where atypical ideas can take root and thrive.”

It’s crucial to combine #constructivenonconformity #psychologicalsafety #DEIB

I think possibly what has given some people such a bad impression of #DEI / #DEIB / #DEIA is that some proponents of it, largely intersecting with social media keyboard warriors, have taken it as a license to act like bullies at work.

DEI is not a pass to bully your coworkers.

I have had someone try to bully me solely because I'm a white guy (and she wrongly assumed heterosexual). She thought this made me fair game to "call me out" for daring to participate in a DEI community. Note that I had said nothing even remotely offensive: she just thought I shouldn't be there.

Her attacking me in direct messages nearly reached the point where I was going to tell her if she wanted to continue the conversation, we could do it with HR present, but I was able to disarm her by telling her we simply weren't going to agree on the subject.

Gibt es Unternehmen die Vorbildlich im Bezug auf #Diversity sind ?

Und wie misst man das? Verdacht/Idee: schauen, wie WENIG weiße able Männer (mensche wie ich also) dort sind , in Führungspositionen, Belegschaft und vielleicht auch Eigentümerschaft... ?

Kann sicher nicht die alkeinige Metrik sein, aber vielleicht ein gutes Indiz?

In May I had an opportunity to attend the Linux Foundation #OSSSummit with 3 of my coworkers. I loved my time with the JavaScript foundation OpenJS, #opensource Community Health CHAOSS Project, the #DEIB track, and open source leadership areas like #OSPO.

Your routine reminder that #DEIB is not a free license to bully individual people.

It's a strategy for dismantling discriminatory structures in institutions.

It's a way of ensuring that otherwise-silenced voices have an opportunity to be heard.

It's not a pretty stick to hit your coworkers or classmates with.

DEI-AB and Their Adversaries

What are diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging? What are their narrative adversaries? We provide a glossary of terms below. Follow the links for deeply sourced reference materials.

DEI-AB

diversity = a range of differences; variety

equity = the process of redistributing access and opportunity to be fair and just; the state of being free of bias, discrimination, and identity-predictable outcomes and experiences

inclusion = the act of extending fellowship, membership, association, and connection—agnostic of rank, status, gender, race, appearance, intelligence, education, beliefs, values, politics, habits, traditions, language, customs, history, or any other defining characteristic

accessibility = accessibility means that people with disabilities can attend and fully participate in a given opportunity

belonging = the extent to which we feel personally accepted, respected, included, and supported by others; the experience of being at home in ourselves as well as the social, environmental, organizational, and cultural contexts of our lives

Their Adversaries

meritocracy myth = a widely held but false assertion that individual merit is always rewarded; the myth of meritocracy is one of the longest lasting and most dangerous falsehoods in American life

lowering the bar = a racist, sexist, and ableist narrative with no basis in reality that represents diversifying hiring pipelines, attracting candidates from underrepresented groups, and supporting them in the workplace as “lowering the bar” by hiring less-qualified individuals

politics of resentment = manipulations of status anxiety; organization of interest groups based on perceived deprivation or the threat of deprivation

sameness-based fairness = notion of fairness where everyone gets the same thing rather than each getting what they need

fundamental attribution error = to underestimate the impact of situational factors and to overestimate the role of dispositional factors in controlling behaviour

conquering gaze from nowhere= the interpretation of objectivity as neutral and not allowing for participation or stances; an uninvolved, uninvested approach that claims objectivity to “represent while escaping representation”

scientism = the belief that science is the only route to useful knowledge

epistemic injustice = where our status as knowers, interpreters, and providers of information, is unduly diminished or stifled in a way that undermines the agent’s agency and dignity

behaviorism = a dehumanizing mechanism of learning that reduces human beings to simple inputs and outputs

ableism = a system of assigning value to people’s bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas of normalcy, productivity, desirability, intelligence, excellence, and fitness

deficit ideology = a worldview that explains and justifies outcome inequalities by pointing to supposed deficiencies within disenfranchised individuals and communities

better get used to it = preparing people for oppression by oppressing them
