5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people - eviltoast
Anti-Blackness is a long-term problem in the fediverse. Now's a good time to start changing that.

Here’s the list:

  1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
  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
  5. 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.

    Neat, a double strange loop of a bad take!

    Poster considers “Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices” a suspect point, and failing to listen further, misinterprets the advice and makes a non sequitur counterpoint.

    Poster implies qualms with point “Post less – and think before you post” as well, and accordingly posts without thinking much at all.

    That’s some self-consistent jackassery right there.
