Same. To be honest, I'm trying to do more than hope. I'm willing to be here while many parts of it are not yet great for Black users, and work with all the awesome folks that are making it better.♥️👍🏿
I'm following in the footsteps of the Black Mastodon users that have been here for years, who started when it was much less welcoming than what I experienced, so that hopefully the Black folk that join after me, will have an even easier time than me.
@Bam @thetitanborn It's fascinating to see that about half of the replies to @thetitanborn 's post, are cringe-worthy forms of "I haven't seen any problems for Black users / your post is unnecessary / we don't see race here."
So yeah... there's work to do.
as a canadian who is attempting their best to be anti*ist this is uncomfortable
a lot of us are disquieted by the history of colonialism, racism, and other *isms and *phobias in our country and really want to do better by our fellow canadians
.. but also the rent is way higher here
