@broken The "obvious trend" involves 2 people which imo is not nearly enough to draw any conclusions especially given neither of them reached out to me or left any formal statements and we're just guessing here at what happened.
@Gargron @broken there's not that many of us here. two people gone and that's nearly half the poc i know here, and they both cited the same reason. hell, might be more, we don't all speak up when we leave. "enabling white supremacy" is requesting formal reports (in what form, even?) from people hurt by it and reminding poc of the power we have to start our own server after we do speak up about being marginalized. would it hurt to try to make it less obvious you'd rather not have us here?
@spinach What does Twitter do and Mastodon doesn't that makes you feel welcome as a PoC there, but not here?
@Gargron "has more than five black people" is the thing it does.
@spinach That's not something I control. I'm also not aware of anyone's ethnicity - I can only see what everyone else sees on the profiles
@Gargron yes our profiles brimming with selfies and hashtagged introductions on this social network tell you nothing about us
@Gargron "that's not something i can control" is insulting, from the one who's yet to turn down any praise for banning nazis.
@spinach I can and do ban nazis that come here, but I can't create people out of thin air... I don't think this is a very fair complaint. Perhaps you could tell me exactly what you would like me to do to improve your experience here?
@Gargron for starters, don't ask poc for free consultation.
@spinach @Gargron You're being ridiculous. Twitter banning people for no reason is a big reason people started coming here and you are advocating that the admins do the same thing.
@johny @Gargron aaaaaa help seems some words shoved themselves into my mouth
