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!

    this libertarian-flavored version of “there’s no racism on the fediverse because I haven’t noticed any” is somehow even stupider

      Yeah that’s definitely not what I said and it’s definitely not what I believe.
