Quietly observing
how many people
framed their disagreement with my ASKING if I would have to CW most of my life & activism & daily life
as defense of CW
or defense of #Mastodon culture
or didn’t even read or listen to anything I said
hence proving my point.
Which I made behind a CW out of respect for the community here
by the way.
You cannot truthfully claim you’re not attacking/harassing people just because you dress it up as defense of others.
The extra labor one has to do as a Black person IS the problem.
Having to move to an instance where people understand by default IS the issue.
White people don’t have to find an instance where it’s okay to talk about their daily lives of being white.
Just realized I can’t find my own unlisted posts! So #DisabledBlackTalk will have to do until I find a solution…
I feel this, as a person making an instance for Jews.
In theory, such instances for marginalized or targeted minorities would not be necessary, but that does not solve our immediate needs.
I feel the same, but what I do have is sufficient privilege to:
1. Start such an instance
2. Build tools to make instances safer
3. Share my knowledge with others to empower them to do the same
