Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  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

Other suggestions?

Posting less is how you kill the whole idea of the fediverse

From the article

Dr. Johnathan Flowers' The Whiteness of Mastodon, Ra’il I'Nasah Kiam and Marcia X's Blackness in the Fediverse, and the links in Dogpiling, weaponized content warning discourse, and a fig leaf for mundane white supremacy have some of the history.
