Julian OliverHow the cookie we knew would crumble, has actually crumbled
Andrea is Qualifyinggg@JulianOliver Damn, such a shame she got run off of here because of racist whites 😕
@thiswomanswerk 100%. That was terrible
Bridge&Tunnel Jeff@JulianOliver @thiswomanswerk I remember when condescending white racist long-time Fedi users angrily posting back at her every time she made valid points about the many problems with the Fedi especially anti-black racism. The abuse was non-stop and not just from USA posters, plenty of Europeans joined in. Moderators didn't consider the abuse to be racist.
I was so happy when she joined in 2022 (followed her on Twitter before, bought Disordered Cosmos) but I understand why she left.
@jf_718 @JulianOliver yes, and these issues persist. I find it so ironic to circulate her posts when she'd probably be none too happy a white person on fedi even has her name in their mouth; especially encased in this weird "i told you so" energy
@thiswomanswerk @jf_718 I was following her on Twitter and think she is brilliant, such a force. It was bloody awful how she was run from Masto. It is natural she would go to Bsky, and is as usual right on seeing the play & calling them out on their use of 'AI', their effective platforming of a white supremacist.
You have a good point about using an instance whose mods didn't protect her. That I learned of it long after doesn't make it less hypocritical here. I will look to move. Thank you.
