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.

Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!

    Yeah this guy keeps posting everywhere. Seems like he should follow his rule #2 and let black voices lead?

      I can’t believe that they deleted my comment haha. The sweet irony of saying let black people post and then to remove my comment is insane
