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

    Thanks. Yes, I agree that it’s problematic that a lot of people don’t see anything from Black people in their timelines – or do, but don’t pay any attention to it. But, there are also a lot of people who follow a handful of the most prominent Black fediversians – folks like Mekka and Timnit – and nobody else, and tht’s problematic too. So “listen more to more people” tries to cover both.

    And the full article has a paragraph

    Stop saying the fediverse is better or friendlier or nicer than corporate social networks. For many Black people, it’s not. So when you say that it is, you’re saying you don’t care about their experience.
