4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!) - eviltoast

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?

    Choosing weaker forms sounds sensible - my criticism is which ones.

    Many people react that way but think about it a little more. It’s a fact. Mutliuple Black people have proven it repeatedly.

    Yup, I know that it’s a fact. You aren’t being fallacious, but the way that you phrased it sounds like that fallacy, so it’s a matter of clarity.

    It’s the same deal as the “post less”, you know? People are misunderstanding you.

    [from the other comment] That’s a great point, can I quote you on having seen it on Lemmy quite a few times?

    Feel free to do so! However keep in mind that I didn’t really keep track of them, so if someone says “do you have proofs?” I have no way to back it up.
