And, at the risk of crossing subLemmy boundaries, here’s Mekka Okereke (@[email protected]) on that achievement, and Mastadon’s loss:

"And when she tried to join the Fediverse, she was greeted with a barrage of hate, sexism, racism, and anti-semitism that should have never been allowed to happen.

"So now no one on Fediverse gets to interact with her directly about her work on here. Our loss. 😢

“Which is why we’ll make it so that this type of terrible welcome is unlikely to happen again. Allowing it to happen to her was a choice. We will make better ones.”

    It’s not so much being proud of being white, so much as putting others down to make themselves feel better. “This race does that thing and I don’t, therefore I’m better than them.”
