Cameron MacLeodThis is an important thing to understand on Mastodon: you don't see all the replies to a post.
It's possible for evil people to propagate terrible hatred that only shows up for the person being attacked, but isn't visible to you.
See explanation from @mekkaokereke here: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/111012743709881062
When Black users tell you there's racism, it doesn't matter that you didn't see it happen.

@zachnfine@mastodon.social @JamesWidman@mastodon.social @Sablebadger@dice.camp @staidwinnow@mastodon.social @Jorsh@beige.party From your screenshot above, and the scenario I listed below, imagine if: 1) the racist user is on "Nazis dot social." They have 5000 followers. 2) the Black user is on "Good people dot social" 3) the nazi replies "Followers only." The scenario: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/111010421955145872 None of the good people would see the gore images, or the subsequent pile-on.
