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?
I honestly don’t get it, to me I just see user IDs I haven’t the slightest clue what race someone is or isn’t on here. I vote solely based on whether they make a good point or a bad point.
This may be true of your own experience on Lemmy, but on microblogging software such as Mastodon it is most definitely not the case.
Then perhaps this is not the correct audience for this piece.
The community is called “Fediverse”, and this is about the fediverse, so yes it is the correct audience.
And there’s plenty of anti-Blackness on Lemmy. In fact there’s even a bunch of anti-Blackness in this thread – as somebody on another instance said, it’s illustrates why other instances have defederated lemmy.world! So, if you’re looking for examples, have a look at this thread.
Could you help me find the comments you are referring to? I can’t seem to find them, and I’m worried it might be because I’m subconsciously anti-Blackness
If you can’t find them, then (like many people) that’s a sign you’re used to an environment where anti-Blackness is normalized. So, imagine a Black person reading this thread who’s been targeted by racism on the fediverse. What comments would they think are dismissive of Black people?
I did, and still can’t find any. Please link. It’s not like you are making stuff up.
Pls provide a list of links
I’m sure OP is just still compiling the list. Aaany minute now…
There are plenty of examples in this thread and the crossposts, and more discussion in https://lemmy.world/post/18536867
This is just a link to the other post you made AFTER the comment about all the anti-blackness in THIS thread. So please provide links for that.
It’s not like it is all in your head or anything.
