@andcomputers And I don't know anybody going "all #black folks should go on a #blackinstance." If you want more control over your #mastodon experience, your own #instance is one way to do it. That's an #option for you -- one you don't have anywhere else. It's not a damn mandate.

I'm not even saying that #mastodon culture doesn't need work. But you can only change people so much.

Most of us here don't want one person running the place. That's why this place exists in the first place.

This mentality is still going around?

There's dozens of #LGBT and #trans instances, #antifa instances, etc. but having a #blackinstance would just be to block it?

If #Mastodon is just full of #racists who want nothing more than to exclude #black folks, why would they even want to be here?

And even if that did happen, would it be so bad? They'd then be free to build their own #fediverse with no racists.

I always wonder how @andcomputers feels about this talk.

Hi!
Two friends joined neurodifferent.me yesterday, but they’re looking for a Black instance where they might feel safer & more comfortable. Stories are getting out about casual racism on MASTO, ya’ll.
Do you have suggestions for #BlackFediverse #BlackInstance #BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #BlackMasto #Black server I could pass on to them?
They have a LOT to share & would be assets to the community!
Thank you!
