So a short infographic I've been working based on the talks I've had over the weekend and when the 5 cups of coffee finally left my body.

Now if we could just find ways to make the fediverse more inviting to Black & BIPOC folks....

@cavyherd @DarrenNevares If only we could get the BIPOC voices to be listened to as they exit the fediverse after being whitesplained that there isn't harassment here.

Or, here's a wild idea: get them listened to •before• they exit, so they can feel safe to •stay•?
Maybe possibly? I don't have the first idea how to do that, sadly....

@cavyherd @DarrenNevares That would be excellent, and a great goal.
So far, the experience has been multiple versions of they tried to alert moderators to the problem, and got diss'd because (white reasons).
I only know this because there are some black fedifolks who will call it out, and not leave, despite the dogpiling and harassment.
I don't know how to fix it either, but I hope by listening and calling out the white 'splaining if I get to see it, I can help.
The chart that started this thread is good, and seems fair, except it's from a majority perspective. The fediverse is left-leaning, but also fairly priviledge-leaning.
Think of it like telling someone who lives in a food desert that they need more organics and freerange foods.. when they can't even get basic fresh and healthy versions.
in short - seek out BIPOC voices that are here now, and listen to what they face. If it's your instance (but not you
) perheps helping their situation with the instance admin. can bring good change.Generally, the exits are after admins of instance that is source of abuse tell the exiting party (part of a different instance) that they don't see any abuse, and won't take any action.

. :listen:. :be an ally:Yep. Here's some additional thoughts on how white people can make fedi less toxic for Black people - https://privacy.thenexus.today/start-making-the-fediverse-less-toxic/
