A few mathematicians in the UK have set up the Queer, Equality and Diversity Network for Maths. (Name chosen entirely for the acronym: QED)
https://sites.google.com/view/qednetwork/
"The QED network is a community-led effort by UK mathematicians to connect and support LGBTQIA+ members of the UK mathematics community.
The impetus to set up such a network grew out of the 2024 BAMC conference under a drive for increased UK visibility and community for queer people in the mathematics community."
They're on bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/qedmathsnetwork.bsky.social. I'll see if I can get them over here too
@christianp If they aren't ready to make a Fediverse native account they could at least opt in to the bridge for their Bluesky account.
@christianp Doesn't seem to be active on any flavor of social network site yet. But the web site is pretty neat.
@soaproot @christianp hosting this on sites.google.com sends out a, hmm, mixed message too...
@dimpase @christianp Seems familiar as I advise a local nonprofit about their online presence. My proposal is basically to de-emphasize the "problematic in various ways" platforms, either in favor of the really good ones or the "problematic but not quite as much so" ones, trading off against a whole bunch of factors (such as wanting the staff involved without consuming a lot of staff time, not trying to change too much, etc, etc, etc).
