yes, mastodon absolutely has a white supremacy problem.

and so does lemmy.

xnopyt

the USA (and canada, and australia, and new zealand, and many more) are settler colonial states that were born out of mass genocide dictated by white supremacist rhetoric.

these states are white supremacist to their core

the fascists of the fedi don’t roam free on the wider network, they harass in secret, usually in DMs or "followers only" posts

there’s also a problem with subtle white supremacy, where Black people (and other POC, but mostly Black people) will get piles and piles of harassment that’s totally unrelated to being Black you see, of course, but its not happening to white people for some bizarre reason!! (see also: the many cases involving TheBadSpace where any Black person who was ever so slightly in favor of Ro and their work would get a fuckton of harassment)

(the last one is present on pretty much all social media, be it pre-Musk Twitter, Bluesky or Tumblr, but im told that it’s especially bad on the fedi)

with the app being tied to NSO, you just know artists will get 0 money from this as well…

im surprised they haven’t done this tbh

okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??

anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???

because if you don’t know straight away how old the video is, now you have to click on it to see. bam, ads.
