Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

Listen more to more Black people
Post less – and think before you post
Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

The community is called "Fediverse", and this is about the fediverse, so yes it is the correct audience.

And there's plenty of anti-Blackness on Lemmy. In fact there's even a bunch of anti-Blackness in this thread -- as somebody on another instance said, it's illustrates why other instances have defederated lemmy.world! So, if you're looking for examples, have a look at this thread.

There are plenty of examples in this thread and the crossposts, and more discussion in https://lemmy.world/post/18536867

This is just a link to the other post you made AFTER the comment about all the anti-blackness in THIS thread. So please provide links for that.

It's not like it is all in your head or anything.

Could you help me find the comments you are referring to? I can't seem to find them, and I'm worried it might be because I'm subconsciously anti-Blackness

If you can't find them, then (like many people) that's a sign you're used to an environment where anti-Blackness is normalized. So, imagine a Black person reading this thread who's been targeted by racism on the fediverse. What comments would they think are dismissive of Black people?
