Mesha“Blah blah people are still on Twitter for no good reason,” says the non-black person fitting into this white-ass space with the utmost of ease.
Dan Gero@devinprater @ThisPlaceAgain People keep pointing out that Mastodon isn't very inviting for black people and that there's a lot of racism here, but the only mentioning of black people I've ever seen here is people pointing out that Mastodon isn't very inviting for black people. I've never seen anyone even hint towards the idea that black people aren't welcome here. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but if you want people to see that it's an issue, you have to site your sources.

When I see out the window that it's raining, I don't bother stepping outside to verify that it's wet. I've got years of experience that I've learned from.
When I hear a black American say that they felt unwelcome somewhere, I don't demand they produce evidence. I've got years of experience that I'm (finally) learning from.
