@jdp23 @J12t @ErickaSimone @stefan @so_treu Hi folks, I'm a mod here at social.coop and this thread was reported, and I wanted to let you know we're currently looking into it and discussing what to do (Have ideas? Feel free to DM me!). We're absolutely anti-racist and completely agree that asking for numbers or receipts about racism to "prove it" is a huge problem and contributes to the ongoing problem of racism on Mastodon. Thanks to whomever reported this, and know that you have our support.

@hollie The post by @J12t was not asking for proof, it was asking for data. The poster is a long standing contributor to the fediverse with an interest in making it better. Also, the tone of his post was neutral and polite.

Your reading is a misreading.

@lucasgonze @J12t Unfortunately in this case, when data was presented, it was largely ignored, and he blocked the only person of color in the conversation. That doesn't read as polite to me, regardless of reputation.

@hollie @lucasgonze @[email protected] thank you hollie.

also, Lucas. Your being intentional about not seeing a clear issue with bigotry makes you a bigot as well. Telling someone they are misreading when it is quite clear what happened is intentional disrespect. The faux intelligence act doesn’t work when you’re not really that smart. Sorry buddy.

Your entire interaction with me and everyone else has been bad faith. I hope they move to drop you as well.
