Black 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

@Deglassco "places like #Mastodon can’t incorporate #diversity & #inclusion." I am sorry but 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐧 is not one place! There's plenty of servers (instances) catering to many preferences. If an instance is becoming hostile to a group and moderators are not cooperating, then just jump ship to a welcoming instance. Mastodon allows people to block people and servers.

In the past when a server embraced discrimination and harassment they were blocked by most other instances.

@sproid From what I've seen, instances that host hateful rhetoric are defederated from Mastodon (i.e., ostracized). I've seen several reports of instances that host and allow racist and/or fascist content and they are cut off from the federation.
@Doohickie Yes, that's what I was referring to. Thanks.
