I boosted a toot earlier with said we can acknowledge that this is better than the birdsite and yet it’s not enough.
I think that’s exactly where I’m at right now.
Yes, I like this space soooo much more. I feel freer, like I don’t have to constantly stifle my voice for fear of being harassed or trolled for just being who I am.
Yet so many people *are* being abused & harassed for exactly those things on other instances.
I’ve been feeling very conflicted about this bc I don’t want to make it out to be a panacea. It’s not.
We still have so much work to do to make it a better experience for everyone.
We can do that by appreciating the good *while* constantly working to make the bad better.

This means NOT invalidating other people’s experiences, especially Black folk, by comparing it to your experiences even as a marginalised person.
It is so exhausting to constantly have your lived experience being questioned all the damn time.
Don’t assume that people don’t know how Fedi works or that they not trying hard enough to find safe spaces aka better instances.
We shouldn’t need to find “safe spaces” just to exist and be ourselves and not experience abuse.
Think about for a second and how fucked up it is.
