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

I clicked a few of the links in the blog post and they were about Mastodon, which I don't use, so I didn't examine them closely. Is this also a problem on Lemmy? I haven't noticed, but I'm probably poorly attuned compared to people who are affected directly.
Yes, there are similar problems on Lemmy. Have a look at the comments in some of the crossposts for examples (although mods have cleaned up a lot of stuff in the beehaw thread).
I see. Yeah I've heard not so good things about Beehaw and I know lemmy.world has disconnected (defederated) from it. The Fediverse isn't one big uniform place. You might be happier hanging out here on lemmy.world which tries to give a friendly experience for the most part. I'm here most of the time, but am also on lemmy.ml sometimes.
It was the other way: Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world. And in this, the beehaw.org moderators took action, the lemmy.world mosa didn't. So no, I don't think I'd be happier hanging out on lemmy.world.
