Ok, white folks: “reverse racism” doesn’t exist, and if you don’t know that, you have a lot of learning ahead of you.
This post comes as a response to me seeing a handful of examples of black folks having their posts (where they talk about white people and racism) deleted by mods with the reason being “racism”.
@Patricia fwiw I think this is (at least currently) primarily an issue with mastodon.social. It's a shame though that that is the de facto "default" server and is so many people's primary impression of mastodon
@sparky_005 @Patricia I think we're about to see a giant experiment in decentralized community play out in real time.
I understand the history of Mastodon has had a lot of politics with instances deciding who to federate with. But the number of voices is way greater now. It seems to me that the instance level is to blunt of a tool and too beholden to admins.
