Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 
#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.
LeeArnould@markwyner I don't remember being ask about my race, sexuality or anything personal when I created my account. Can you explain how exactly it prevents equality?

Try those hashtags. There are a lot of black people on here talking about their experience. You can learn directly from them how the culture of a place affects them.

Sriram "sri" Ramkrishna - 😼@stevegis_ssg @Leearnould @markwyner do not question their experience.. I see a lot of white folks asking for proof. It's out there - educate yourself. Listen.

I don't disagree people are arseholes and bigots. My point was the blaming of the app not the users.

Thank you! I think I understand what you're saying better now.
I don't think OP was blaming the software (though I don't speak for him). I suspect he was talking about the community that uses it. Every social media app is both a software package and a community, no?
