  • People who correct their post without leaving a trace of their mistake after someone has already commented on it should be keelhauled and slapped in the face with a dirty trout.

  • Yeah it's sad to see. It's not the reaction I would have expected from Lemmy. But then again, given how black people feel treated on Mastodon maybe I should have.

  • "We know of no rigorous study showing that toughened digital marketing privacy policies produced tangible economic benefits for anyone"

    What the hell even is that statement? Who has ever argued that we want privacy for economic benefit?? I hope I'm just misunderstanding it due to lack of context or else it's one of the statements most detached from reality I've ever seen in my life.

  • You can do that if they were in need of a polish. It's just a bit difficult to aim directly into the wallet when they're done.

  • Yes, but context matters. Not that I have any statistics, but I would assume the Fediverse as a whole is predominantly white to an almost absurd degree. Had someone who represents a very small minority in Bangladesh turned to the Bangladeshi people to adress concerns of racism they experience all over Bangladesh from Bangladeshi people I would hardly call that controversial.

  • I hear you, and in general I absolutely agree. However I definitely believe that it's valid in cases like these. I'm one of the affected, I'm white, and I've never seen racism on Fedi, and I take this as nothing but a group of people trying to help me see if I have any unintentional racist blind spots (which I'm pretty much guaranteed to have, as we all have them). It's a good thing for everyone.

  • They are addressing racism against black people from white people. Based on what I've seen black people say on Mastodon about how they're treated on that part of fedi, the points in that list seem reasonable (except "don't post as much", which seems weird). What they're trying to do, as far as I understand, is to open the eyes of many white people who don't realize what's going on. I guess you could say they're pointing out and trying to fight a kind of systemic racism, or a bias that can take the form of inadvertent racism.

    In order to do that, the people affected by that (white) bias would benefit from countering said bias by taking part in other and more diverse sources, groups etc. In this specific case, black people. Basically: "hey guys, your group is treating us badly, would you mind listening to us instead of just saying that you're not treating us badly?"

  • I wasn't aware that this has been posted before. I spend way way to much time on Lemmy and I've never seen it before, or any post relating to racism on Lemmy. Of course something being posted to many times can be annoying.

    I thought the post was interesting because of how much talk there's been on Mastodon about how exceptionally bad black people's experiences are on there, and Mastodon is a part of the Fediverse. There are tons of complaints about how white people don't even see the racism in front of their eyes on Mastodon, claiming there is none (which I, maybe incorrectly, correlated with these here downvotes). Personally I've never seen any racism on Mastodon, nor on Lemmy, so if someone is asking for racism to be linked I would find that interesting because I would like to see what I am missing. I could learn from it. All racism isn't blatant and using slurs that are obvious to people not being targeted.
