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!
Point 1 is suspect too. Black people have no incentive to let people know they’re black on the fediverse.
this libertarian-flavored version of “there’s no racism on the fediverse because I haven’t noticed any” is somehow even stupider
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.
