The #Whiteness of #Mastodon discusses the problematic nature of the #Fediverse for minority groups, including #black, #disabled and #queer / #lgbt. Interesting comparison to #twitter in terms of moderation of racist (et al.) posts, building community, and expressing identity. Also a good critique of the difficulty to change the federation and the problematic nature of "make your own #instance" as a response. Worth listening to or reading.
The way white liberals shrug in the face of fascism is a terrifying reminder that they never feel the threat as acutely. It’s a lot of memes & jokes & calls for others to stay calm. Their whiteness is their passport to survival whenever the fascists succeed.
