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!

      what, you mean we have to read things before we spew opinions about them? what an utterly odious requirement! admins! help! I am being oppressed!
