5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people
privacy.thenexus.today
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?

    “Post less” isn’t going to help a platform that’s still in early days that needs more active posters.

    Best I can think of with a 30 second investment or time and thought is:

    1. post knowing it is only your perspective, you speak for no one else

    2. when other people post with perspectives that differ from yours, default to believing them

      Thanks, in the revised version I’ll clarify the “Post less”. And, I also have suggestions about amplifying Black voices similar to your last paragraph.
