Dr. D. Elisabeth GlasscoBlack folks hear this all the time in the physical & virtual world. “Maybe, you’re not the right fit.” Decentralization isn’t the panacea for our social media woes if places like #Mastodon can’t incorporate #diversity & #inclusion. It’ll be just another white~dominated space where the far right, white supremos, & other agents of intolerance rule the roost while the good white folks put their heads in the sand and pretend like they’re not the problem.. #BlackTwitter #Inequality #BlackMastodon
Christine Hall@Deglassco So far that doesn't seemed to be happening here, but many of my white brothers and sisters do seem to like to build walled gardens around themselves that includes only people who either look like them or strive to look like them, so we'll see. Hopefully this will work out well.
Mel@Deglassco @BrideOfLinux it is happening here already. Check out @chanda ‘s toots. She’s been sharing her experiences here with horrible, racist harassment and threats. I’m sure she’s not the only one.
