Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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?

I clicked a few of the links in the blog post and they were about Mastodon, which I don't use, so I didn't examine them closely. Is this also a problem on Lemmy? I haven't noticed, but I'm probably poorly attuned compared to people who are affected directly.

Yes, there are similar problems on Lemmy. Have a look at the comments in some of the crossposts for examples (although mods have cleaned up a lot of stuff in the beehaw thread).

I see. Yeah I've heard not so good things about Beehaw and I know lemmy.world has disconnected (defederated) from it. The Fediverse isn't one big uniform place. You might be happier hanging out here on lemmy.world which tries to give a friendly experience for the most part. I'm here most of the time, but am also on lemmy.ml sometimes.

It was the other way: Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world. And in this, the beehaw.org moderators took action, the lemmy.world mosa didn't. So no, I don't think I'd be happier hanging out on lemmy.world.
