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?

Yes, there are similar problems on Lemmy. Have a look at the comments in some of the crossposts for examples (although mods have cleaned up a lot of stuff in the beehaw thread).

I see. Yeah I've heard not so good things about Beehaw and I know lemmy.world has disconnected (defederated) from it. The Fediverse isn't one big uniform place. You might be happier hanging out here on lemmy.world which tries to give a friendly experience for the most part. I'm here most of the time, but am also on lemmy.ml sometimes.

It was the other way: Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world. And in this, the beehaw.org moderators took action, the lemmy.world mosa didn't. So no, I don't think I'd be happier hanging out on lemmy.world.
