Anti-Blackness is a long-term problem in the fediverse. Now's a good time to start changing that.

Feedback welcome! Here’s the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

    Us not upgrading has nothing to do with making a point.

    We’re aiming to run a stable instance, which can come at the cost of delayed updates.

    We didn’t update to 0.19.4, and a few weeks later 0.19.5 was released with a number of critical bugfixes.

    0.19.6 will have several more fixes for issues introduced in 0.19.4+, such as a fix for remote moderators updating local communities, allowing admins to filter modlog entries by moderator, as well as some performance issues reported by other instances.

    We usually wait for other instances to run the latest version for some time to allow bug reports to surface before we update ourselves.
