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!

      and of course their recent post history is just sealioning

      e: and, fucking amazingly, they posted this in a different thread at almost the same time as their reply here:

      What is a ‘race realist’?

      so they really didn’t fucking read what they were replying to

        I think you mean comment history, but either way, my understanding is that sealioning is supposed to be disingenuous, which doesn’t apply in this case.
