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

    I honestly don’t get it, to me I just see user IDs I haven’t the slightest clue what race someone is or isn’t on here. I vote solely based on whether they make a good point or a bad point.

      This may be true of your own experience on Lemmy, but on microblogging software such as Mastodon it is most definitely not the case.

        Fair point I forgot Mastodon even existed honestly, I did try it early on but it’s not for me.
