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?

If there was a rule I violated, my apologies! But I also didn't see anything about it.

you’re fine; there’s no rules against your post, and we’ve never seen that poster before (and good news — now we never will again!)

unfortunately, a thread about the racism experienced by Black folks on the fediverse will attract weird, racist reactions from random posters

Yikes, OK I already regret clicking that link.

Yeah I saw the name and ... no thanks.

This reminds me of similar threads about misogyny, with similarly dismissive replies.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yep, very similar dynamics.

Sharing your own work is fine.
