Timnit Gebru (she/her).Reading so many accounts of especially Black people being harassed on here to the point of leaving. And also the type of aversion there is to talking about it. SMH. Can’t we have anything that isn’t racist by default?
Matthew Mullins@timnitGebru shameful. I thought Mastodon was supposed to have better tools for blocking/booting these people and their trashy servers.
caz@mmullins @timnitGebru this is fascinating to me bc I keep seeing variations on this response in these conversations. This harassment isn't coming from Nazis, who are already mostly walled off, it's coming from "well meaning" white liberals & leftists who are lecturing PoC about the "rules" here. It's respectability politics & "polite" racism, not screaming slurs.
