Everyone on fedi loves calling Twitter a nazi bar

But on Twitter I can get real time analysis on what's going down in Venezuela by actual left-wing Venezuelans as well as commentary from other people in Latin America and the Caribbean who can put the shit in wider context

You know, Black and brown ppl from outside of the US and Europe, the very populations fedi struggles to attract and retain. But fedi definitely isn't a nazi bar, just a segregated one and that's TOTALLY different you guise

@so_treu Failing to attract demographics and segregating them are two very different things.

The fedi has a major problem with segregation. Driving non-white people away though hostility and harassment and even just constant reply guy bs until it’s a nearly all white space? If you don’t want to call it segregation, fine. But it’s sure quacking like a duck.

If you click through the replies to my post you’ll see some very helpful responses to the very request you’re making.

But I also want to just let you know that in these discussions there are often people who demand examples in bad faith, never actually prepared to give any credence to anything someone offers of their lived experience. So asking for examples when they’re quite easy to find on your own isn’t a great practice here. I’m assuming you’re actually just looking to learn, so I do invite you to check out the resources ppl link to, but wanted to let you know for the future.

@minmi @iranon @so_treu I’ve been on Mastodon for a year. My impressions of this social media platform are formed by seeing a huge number of posts from a large variety of individuals and while I’ve had disagreements and blocked some, my overall impression is that M is mostly a left leaning melting pot. In my personal experience I’ve seen no organized systemic methodology to drive non-whites away. Yes, there are assholes everywhere. 🤔

@minmi @iranon @so_treu However, this reply does not preclude me from looking over sources quoted replying to your post.
