Can we talk about Black twitter and Mastodon migration?

I’ve pretty seen a pretty strong consensus from black twitter that their experience in Mastodon has been very negative. Many people don’t see this as a viable destination.

  • Why?
  • How do we make sure there aren’t issues?

    @nazgul @huxley wow, this thread really brings a lot of receipts with it.

    Reading through a few of the ones further down, I think it's clear that there's more work to be done both on the technical side of Mastodon - like more powerful blocking capabilities - as well as on the culture side- like how forcing folks to hide conversations about race behind content warnings can stifle those conversations and the positive progress they can bring.
