@i_jayas The difference from centralized systems is that nobody forces you to use this specific website. Run literally your own instance. Then the only thing that can happen to you is that people block you. Shrug. 6 comments
@richburroughs I have a basic life philosophy of fixing things I can fix, instead of the ones I can't: @mikebabcock I was replying to the person who said that Black folks should just make their own server. I hope I don’t have to explain to people what a problematic message that is. I don’t know specifically what needs to be done to improve the moderation. I don’t know enough about what’s happening to say. @mikebabcock What I can tell you is that Black folks are seeing these misfires and some don’t want to come near the platform. I have a lot of Black friends I follow on Twitter and very few of them have come to Mastadon. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. @yacc143 most of us can’t run our own instance. I’m not sure that suggesting that it’s the job of the oppressed to fix the problems is the best stance here. @yacc143 @i_jayas @Gargron @mikebabcock Okay, but I'm pretty confident Eugen's goal isn't to build a de-facto whites-only instance. The complaints were delivered to Eugen because the complaints are about *this* instance "Deal with racism or go someplace else" might work for you, but not for Eugen's team That's why the staff is doing something about it, and that's why his users will continue to deliver feedback |

@yacc143 @i_jayas @Gargron @mikebabcock That’s too late. Black folks are going to the big instances because that’s where a lot of people go, and they are getting alienated. We can’t expect new users to know what instances are the “good” ones.
