@budgiebin people aren't witch hunting white people. there's been a lot of misrepresentation and misinformation, both deliberate and accidental as a result of people repeating things based on second and third hand reports. getting defensive and falling back on your whiteness and implying it's reverse racism are part of the problem with fedi at large.

@PsyChuan this is terrible

@budgiebin there's a lot going on, but this is not it. i'd suggest take a break, have a little sit down and read some works by anti-racist activists and some works on whiteness. this is a good article as a starting place. https://mints.cafe/thoughts-on-mastodon-and-how-it-really-is-crumbling-actually-take-it-seriously/

@budgiebin please know that i don't mean this as a callout or with any hostility. it comes from a place of genuinely wanting not only to protect others, but also wanting you to be protected. i made these posts unlisted because it needs to be in the open but doesn't need to be shouted to the world. i hope there's no ill will between us

@PsyChuan thank you - there's no ill will, im just tired of aggression

@budgiebin that's entirely fair. it's been very tiring the past few days. i just wanted to maybe help you check yourself before everyone jumped on you.
