Draft! Work in progress! Feedback welcome!

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?

    I think the second point is quite important, but I do suggest to OP to clarify. My take is that if all you’ve got about a social issue is some gut reaction, and that you’re neither concerned nor learned on the subject, you could do worse than to shut up and listen. (And reading titles off some feed is not learning.)

    Does the fediverse have a problem with too much posting? 🤔

    There is more to a community than volume.

      Thanks. The article discusses this some, including

      If you’re white, you’re almost certainly not an expert on anti-Blackness – on the fediverse or more generally. This means that your initial thoughts and questions on this subject are almost certainly going to be things many others have said before. So even if they’re good questions or ideas, they’re not particularly helpful and (since many Black people hear the same thing again and again) may well be annoying. And very often they’re not particularly good questions or ideas – or you’ll express them in a way that contributes to the fediverse’s anti-Blackness.

      And then has several examples. That said, improvement is needed – the text of the section doesn’t completely align with the headline – so suggestions welcome!
