Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

Listen more to more Black people
Post less – and think before you post
Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people...

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there's likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

Thanks, glad you like it! And yeah, there have indeed been some reddit-like things said in this thread. Oh well, comes with the territory. The lemmy.blahaj.zone thread is somewhat better so far (famous last words).

My guess is that the fediverse will split into regions that decide to address anti-Blackness (and everything else) and others that ... don't. Similarly, some platforms will focus on improving safety and others ... won't. Lemmy's likely to be in the "won't" category but time will tell!
