4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!)
Draft! Work in progress! Feedback welcome!
Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list
- Listen more to more Black people
- Post less – and think before you post
- Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
- Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
Other suggestions?

Headline so stupid I almost clicked to see wtf they were talking about...
Then I realized it's op posting their own blog.
where precisely do you imagine you found the rule that they’re not allowed to post their own blog?
If there was a rule I violated, my apologies! But I also didn't see anything about it.
you’re fine; there’s no rules against your post, and we’ve never seen that poster before (and good news — now we never will again!)
unfortunately, a thread about the racism experienced by Black folks on the fediverse will attract weird, racist reactions from random posters

Yeah I saw the name and ... no thanks.
This reminds me of similar threads about misogyny, with similarly dismissive replies.
Yep, very similar dynamics.
