What it means when people exhort non-White peeps to “start your own instance” or go to another more suitable one—-the digital version of White Flight/segregation.

“[Mastodon risks] ghettoizing the Black community in a federated space. All of the Black people go here and [other] instances have the option of engaging with them or deeding from them.]”

This is one of the best curated online ressources I know on black writings / panafricanism. Also a few videos in there. All material is gathered from the public domain, with some translations whenever available.

Stephen A Smith has a podcast called Know Mercy I listen to.

I have zero interest in sports and he's a professional sportscaster on ESPN, but he doesn't talk about sports much on the podcast. He has a beautiful dynamic speaking style and what he says about work, race, morality the issues of our time ring true to me.

#BlackMastodon Batman is the worst superhero in the world, and I'm tired of pretending he isn't. Here are my top 10 reasons:

10) The Wayne's are the richest family in the most corrupt city in the world, so what does that tell you? His family wealth comes from old money, so I'm pretty sure his ancestors exploited natural resources, busted unions and did some other shady "Daniel-Plainview-There-Will-Be-Blood" shit.

NPR's "On The Media" has a segment this morning on #Mastodon which is a pretty good introduction to the #fediverse.

They talk specifically about designed non-virality on M*; and the absence of quote-tweets, how this hurts #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon.

"And without the slightest bit of irony are WP discussing where and how Blk and POC should be represented on the flag. 'here's ur corner, now shut up'"

#BlackMastodonHistory #BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek

"That flag has started a super demeaning discussion now

'oh it would be from pv'

Imagine hating when Blk non binary and Trans folks advocate for themselves and get demeaned for it.

BLK Trans women are no longer w us a rate we can't understand. No one on here talks about it.

It's too much and I don't have the bandwidth and now this.

Ppl are treating that flag post w such VIM"

#BlackMastodonHistory #BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek

"So. Blk folks can't have added visibility within a flag unless it's as an ammendment

If that's how wp are reading the chevron on the pride flag then that makes me uncomfortable"

#BlackMastodon #BlackMastodonHistory
#TransAwarenessWeek

It's Trans Awareness Week, and I think back to the Black Trans Flag, the dominance of whiteness in this queer space, and the lack of care white ppl have for their Black queer siblings
I've been here for years, let's go down memory lane

#BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek

White queer were coming up with mock flag designs that would allow for Blk ppl to be represented bc "Just because youre a minority grou doesn't give yu the right to shit on other ones"

Then this person blocked me, realized they didn't even understand the flag, and apologized to their followers and never sent one my way

and Yes I am starting #BlackMastodonHistory bc I and others who have been here for years have dealt w some shit

#BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek
