Here’s the list:
- Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
- Post less – and think before you post
- Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
- Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
- Approach it intersectionally
The full article goes into detail, and also has links to anti-racism resources and appendices with a list of common mistakes to avoid and blocklist resources for moderators.
Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!
“post more pointless bullshit with less thought and also racism on the fediverse can be solved if Black people shitpost more” is an entire fuck of a take, but it tells me everything I need to know about whether or not you should be posting here
racism on the fediverse can be solved if Black people shitpost more
This indeed makes no sense. Exactly as much sense as the implication that white people posting less solves racism somehow. The article explains that that rule should be “if you’re white, post less on topics about race and if you do want to post, think about what you’re about to say”.
In conclusion: shitposting remains a free for all.
Yeesh, this escaped containment quickly, didn’t it?
Thanks for keeping our bar nazi-free!
with how much of a revolving door of covert white supremacists lemmy is, i can imagine it’s hard to boot them out faster than they come in. just federation things
