#Mastodon has a LONG way to go to on Black #inclusivity. This is surprising because it’s appropriately focused on #accessibility and #LGBTQ+ inclusivity. We all need to uplift #BlackMastodon in every way we can. This will make Mastodon better and create a sanctuary for the Black community. Call out, fight, and report all micro-aggressions/racism witnessed here. Boost posts/accounts of Black Mastodonians. Use your #privilege to be a voice. This is our #responsibility. We’re #StrongerTogether.

I really hate to say it, but the thing you think is surprising is not in the least bit surprising.

#blackmastodon

@jrm4 I never said it was surprising. Not once. I only mentioned it so the deniers might understand.

@markwyner

Not trying to start any ill-will here -- but I was responding to what I saw in the very first post of the thread? Your second sentence literally does say this.

@jrm4 no ill will taken, friend. I’m always open to being called out by Black folk and allies for what I’m saying. Being humble with my ego and learning is the least I can do. And it’s a gift. We’re all good, friend.
