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?

you’re fine; there’s no rules against your post, and we’ve never seen that poster before (and good news — now we never will again!)

unfortunately, a thread about the racism experienced by Black folks on the fediverse will attract weird, racist reactions from random posters

Yikes, OK I already regret clicking that link.

Yeah I saw the name and ... no thanks.

This reminds me of similar threads about misogyny, with similarly dismissive replies.

Yep, very similar dynamics.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
